Fundamental limits of hot carrier injection from metal in nanoplasmonics
Abstract
Evolution of the nonequilibrium carriers excited in the process of decay of surface plasmon polaritons in metal is described for each step, from the carrier generation to their extraction from the metal. The relative importance of various carrier generating mechanism is discussed. It is shown that both carrier generation and their decay are inherently quantum processes as for realistic illumination conditions no more than a single SPP per...
