摘要

Abstract

MXenes

an emerging class of two-dimensional materials

exhibit characteristics that promise significant potential for their use in next generation optoelectronic sensors. An interplay between interband transitions and boundary effects offer the potential to tune the plasma frequencies over a large spectral range from the near-infrared to the mid-infrared. This tuneability along with the 'layered' nature of the material not only offer the flexibility to produce plasmon resonances across a wide range of wavelengths

but also add a degree of freedom to the sensing mechanism by allowing the plasma frequency to be modulated. Here we show

numerically

that MXenes can support plasmons in the telecommunications frequency range and that surface plasmon resonances can be excited on a standard MXene coated side polished optical fiber. Thus

presenting the tantalising prospect of highly selective distributed optical fiber sensor networks.
