Graphene [1] is a material that has been extensively explored in recent years as a material with optical properties that enable its application as active material in sensing devices. In this work we will study plasmonic effects and optical properties of graphene and metal nanoparticles (AuNPs), comparing its results, whenever possible, with results obtained in previous studies. Analysis will be supported by simulation results obtained with Matlab (“Mie analysis”).
