Chemical-enhanced thyroid cell detection using photonic crystal biosensors with phase-change materials

WNWalaa M. NoumanFSFatma A. SayedAAArafa H. Aly

Key Points

  • The central aim is to develop a biosensor for the detection of thyroid nodules using phase-change materials.
  • Developed a one-dimensional defective photonic crystal (1D-DPC) biosensor
  • Utilized the phase-change material Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST)
  • Focused on detection in the visible light range.
  • Demonstrated effective label-free detection of thyroid nodules using the biosensor
  • Achieved promising sensitivity and specificity in visible light detection.

Abstract

This study proposes a one-dimensional defective photonic crystal (1D-DPC) biosensor based on the phase-change material Ge 2 Sb 2 Te 5 (GST) for label-free detection of thyroid nodules in the visible range.
