▎ 摘　　要

Graphene monolayer of sub-nanometer thickness shows strong metallic and plasmonic behavior in terahertz (THz) frequency range. This plasmonic effect varies considerably when graphene layer is placed under a magnetic field of appropriate strength. The strong adsorption characteristic of graphene layer is another advantage. In this work, a photonic spin Hall effect (PSHE)-based plasmonic sensor consisting of germanium prism, organic dielectric layer, and graphene monolayer is simulated and analyzed in THz aiming at highly sensitive and reliable sensing under variable magnetic field. Modified Otto configuration and magneto-optic effect in graphene are considered. The sensor's performance is examined in terms of sensitivity, limit of detection (LOD), and figure of merit (FOM). The analysis indicates that LOD of the order of 10(-5) RIU for gas sensing is achievable, which is finer than recently reported gas sensors based on different techniques. Further, the FOM improves when a larger magnitude of magnetic field is applied. The FOM is even greater for rarer gaseous media, which can make the sensor extremely useful in early detection of airborne viruses such as SARS-Cov-2 (while using appropriate specificity method) and to measure the concentration of a particular gas in a given gaseous mixture. The results further indicate that the same sensor design can be used for magnetic field detection while the FOM of magnetic field detection is significantly greater for rarer gaseous medium (e.g., air), which may enable the probe to be used in early detection of radiation leakage in nuclear reactors. For larger magnitudes of magnetic field, the corresponding LOD becomes finer.
