Fundamental limits of hot carrier injection from metal in nanoplasmonics
The evolution of non-equilibrium carriers excited in the process of decay of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) in metal is described for each step – from the generation of carriers to their extraction from the metal. The relative importance of various carrier-generating mechanisms is discussed. It i...
