Harvesting the loss: surface plasmon-based hot electron photodetection
Although the nonradiative decay of surface plasmons was once thought to be only a parasitic process within the plasmonic and metamaterial communities, hot carriers generated from nonradiative plasmon decay offer new opportunities for harnessing absorption loss. Hot carriers can be harnessed for applications ranging from chemical catalysis, photothermal heating, photovoltaics, and photodetection...
متن کاملHot electron plasmon-protected solar cell.
A solar cell based on a hot electron plasmon protection effect is proposed and made plausible by simulations, non-local modeling of the response, and quantum mechanical calculations. In this cell, a thin-film, plasmonic metamaterial structure acts as both an efficient photon absorber in the visible frequency range and a plasmonic resonator in the IR range, the latter of which absorbs and protec...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of surface-plasmon-assisted nanolithography.
In this paper, based on numerical study using Finite Difference Time Domain method, we discuss two possible illumination schemes utilizing surface plasmon effects to achieve high density sub-100 nm scale photolithography by using ultraviolet light from a mercury lamp. In the illumination schemes discussed in this paper, a thin film layer, named as shield layer, is placed in between a photoresis...
متن کاملSurface plasmon-driven hot electron flow probed with metal-semiconductor nanodiodes.
A continuous flow of hot electrons that are not at thermal equilibrium with the surrounding metal atoms is generated by the absorption of photons. Here we show that hot electron flow generated on a gold thin film by photon absorption (or internal photoemission) is amplified by localized surface plasmon resonance. This was achieved by direct measurement of photocurrent on a chemically modified g...
متن کاملHot-Electron Heating Caused by Two-Plasmon-Decay Instability
LLE Review, Volume 126 66 Introduction High-energy electrons are detrimental to laser fusion because they can preheat the fuel, preventing the high compression necessary for central hot-spot ignition and high gain.1 The direct-drive approach is particularly vulnerable as a result of the long scale length of plasma that exists at the quarter-critical density of the target, although it can also o...
