Photo-plasmonic effect as the hot electron generation mechanism
Abstract Based on the effective Schrödinger–Poisson model a new physical mechanism for resonant hot-electron generation at irradiated half-space metal–vacuum interface of electron gas with arbitrary degree of degeneracy is proposed. The energy dispersion of undamped plasmons in the coupled Hermitian...
