Abstract

Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) on low-dimensional metal materials are unique in properties. This enables SPPs to play a role in some special fields, notably high-precision sensing. On the basis, this paper attempts to analyze the optical properties of SPPs on low-dimensional metal structures and their sensing applications. Then, metal nanowire cases are adopted to further illustrate such applications. To sum up, this paper attempts to clarify advantages of low-dimensional metals, thus providing theoretical support for the follow-up applications.
