A review of nanoplasmonics is given. This includes fundamentals, nanolocalization of
optical energy and hot spots, ultrafast nanoplasmonics and control of the spatiotemporal …

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

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 …

Generation of energetic (hot) electrons is an intrinsic property of any plasmonic
nanostructure under illumination. Simultaneously, a striking advantage of metal nanocrystals …

We investigate theoretically the effects of generation and injection of plasmonic carriers from
an optically excited metal nanocrystal to a semiconductor contact or to surface molecules …

We report an on-chip integrated metal graphene–silicon plasmonic Schottky photodetector
with 85 mA/W responsivity at 1.55 μm and 7% internal quantum efficiency. This is one order …

Recent development of nanoplasmonics has stimulated chemists to utilize plasmonic
nanomaterials for efficient and distinctive photochemical applications, and physicists to …

In gratings, incident light can couple strongly to plasmons propagating through periodically
spaced slits in a metal film, resulting in a strong, resonant absorption whose frequency is …

When plasmonic nanostructures serve as the metallic counterpart of a metal–semiconductor
Schottky interface, hot electrons due to plasmon decay are emitted across the Schottky …

The paper reviews physical concepts related to the collective dynamics of plasmon
excitations in metal nanocrystals with a focus on the photogeneration of energetic carriers …
