In the past 20 years, we have reached a broad understanding of many light-driven
phenomena in nanoscale systems. The temporal dynamics of the excited states are instead …

Light absorption near a surface of conductive materials and nanostructures leads to the
excitation of nonequilibrium, high-energy charge carriers: electrons above the Fermi level or …

Here we present a roadmap on Photonic metasurfaces. This document consists of a number
of perspective articles on different applications, challenge areas or technologies underlying …

Applications in photodetection, photochemistry, and active metamaterials and metasurfaces
require fundamental understanding of ultrafast nonthermal and thermal electron processes …

The optically driven acoustic modes and nonlinear response of plasmonic nanoparticles are
important in many applications, but are strongly resonant, which restricts their excitation to …

Recently, there has been significant interest in harnessing hot-carriers generated from the
decay of localized surface plasmons in metallic nanoparticles for applications in …

The aim of shape-controlled colloidal synthesis of gold (Au) is to produce Au nanoparticles
(NPs) with fine control of shapes, sizes, and dispersities. We show how transient absorption …

Chemical processes induced by surface plasmon resonance have received great attention
due to the wide spectral absorption and tunable optical property. Co-catalysts have been …

The coherent oscillations of mobile charge carriers near the surface of good conductors-
surface plasmons-are been exploited in many applications in information technologies …

Strong coupling between metal nanoparticles and molecules mixes their excitations,
creating new eigenstates with modified properties such as altered chemical reactivity …
