In this work, we propose and evaluate a concept for a selective thermal emitter based on Tamm plasmons suitable for monolithic on-chip integration and fabrication by conventional complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible processes. The original design of Tamm plasmon structures features a purely one-dimensional array of layers including a Bragg mirror and a metal. The resonant field enhancement next to the metal interface corresponding to optical Tamm states leads to resonant emission at the target wavelength, which depends on the lateral dimensions of the bandgap structure. We demonstrate the application of this concept to a silicon slab structure instead of deploying extended one dimensional layers thus enabling coupling into slab waveguides. Here we focus on the mid-infrared region for absorption sensing applications, particularly on the CO2 absorption line at 4.26 µm as an example. The proposed genetic-algorithm optimization process utilizing the finite-element method and the transfer-matrix method reveals resonant absorption in case of incident modes guided by the slab and, by Kirchhoff’s law, corresponds to emittance up to 90% depending on different choices of the silicon slab height when the structure is used as a thermal emitter. Although we focus on the application as an emitter in the present work, the structure can also be operated as an absorber providing adjusted lateral dimensions and/or exchanged materials (e.g., a different choice for metal).

Abstract Sensors have tremendous demand in Industry because of their properties like sensitiveness, responsiveness, stability, selectiveness, and cost-effectiveness. Therefore, it is a dire need to develop advanced sensing materials and technologies. With the rapid advancement in micro and nanotechnologies in Micro-electromechanical Systems/ Nano-electromechanical Systems (MEMS/NEMS), more emphasis has to develop micro and nanomechanical resonators, having great interest for engineering fields. When MEMS/NEMS resonators are used for advancement in sensors, then they could perform both detection and sensing. Both BNNT and CNT are the strongest lightweight nanomaterials used for mass sensing applications. BNNT contradict to CNT have nontoxic property towards health and environment because of its structural stability and chemical inertness, which makes it more suitable for biological applications. From various studies, the conclusion comes out that the non-linear dynamic behavior of Boron Nitride Nanotubes-based mass sensors has not yet been explored. It is required strongly to study the non-linear conduct of BNNT for designing a better performing mass sensor.
