Although the nonradiative decay of surface plasmons was once thought to be only a
parasitic process within the plasmonic and metamaterial communities, hot carriers …

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) has been receiving more and more research attention in the
past few decades, ascribed to its unrivaled capabilities in controlling material growth with …

In plasmonic metals, surface plasmon resonance decays and generates hot electrons and
hot holes through non-radiative Landau damping. These hot carriers are highly energetic …

Methylammonium lead halide perovskites have attracted enormous attentions due to their
superior optical and electronic properties. However, the photodetection at near‐infrared …

The conventional process for developing an optimal design for nonlinear optical responses
is based on a trial-and-error approach that is largely inefficient and does not necessarily …

Silicon‐based technologies provide an ideal platform for the monolithic integration of
photonics and microelectronics. In this context, a variety of passive and active silicon …

The heterojunction between metal and silicon (Si) is an attractive route to extend the
response of Si-based photodiodes into the near-infrared (NIR) region, so-called Schottky …

An innovative method of improving zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods-based ultraviolet (UV)
photodetectors was fabricated by photodeposition of silver (Ag) micro-flakes on top of Ag …

Subwavelength metal nanoislands thermally dewetted from a thin film emerge as a powerful
and cost-effective photonic material, due to the formation of substantially strong nano-gap …

In this paper we present a sub-bandgap photodetector consisting of a metal grating on a thin
metal patch on silicon, which makes use of the enhancement produced by the excitation of …
