Gas sensing characterization by magneto-optic surface plasmon resonance technique

Thin film of ethane bridged Zn-Porphyrin dimers have been deposited via Langmuir-Schäfer (LS) technique onto Au/Co/Au transducers fabricated onto glass substrates. They have been tested as sensing layer in a Magneto-optic Surface Plasmon Resonance (MO-SPR) sensor to monitor the controlled adsorption of molecules of a volatile compound such as tert-butylamine vapours. © 2014 Springer Science+Business Media.
