Effect of temperature on the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) mode along a metal - liquid crystal interface - Vol.60(3), Mar - New Delhi CSIR 2022 - 204-208p.
The effect of temperature on the surface plasmon mode parameters for surface plasmons (SPs) excited by prism coupling
along the interface of a thin silver film and homeotropically aligned liquid crystals (LCs), 5CB and UCF25 are theoretically
studied. The change in the SPR angle of dip with temperature is found to be almost linear below the clearing temperature of
the LCs. The temperature sensitivity is found to be high in the temperature range where the LC behaves as an anisotropic
material. The sensitivity is found to be higher when SPR reflectance at a fixed incident angle is used as the variable
parameter. The shift in SPR angle of dip is found to be linear with the change in birefringence of the LC due to the change in
temperature. The change in SPR parameters with temperature is found to be much lesser in the temperature range where the
LC behaves as an isotropic material.
