Electrical tuning effect for Schottky barrier and hot-electron harvest in a plasmonic Au/TiO2 nanostructure

Abstract Schottky barrier controls the transfer of hot carriers between contacted metal and semiconductor, and decides the performance of plasmonic metal–semiconductor devices in many applications. It is immensely valuable to actively tune the Schottky barrier. In this work, electrical tuning of Sch...
