Photothermal and Photoelectrical Energy Conversion in Plasmonic Nanostructures

Surface plasmons, coherent oscillations of electrons in metals that can be excited with electromagnetic waves, are a key component in routing and manipulating light-matter interaction at nanometer length scales. Because of their deep-subwavelength mode volumes and strong field confinement, surface p...
