Plasmon drag effect with sharp polarity switching
arXiv:1911.10101 · doi:10.1088/1367-2630/ab7d7c
Abstract
The generation of significant photocurrents observed in plasmonic metasurfaces is interesting from a fundamental point of view and promising for applications in plasmon-based electronics and plasmonic sensors with compact electrical detection. We show that photoinduced voltages in strongly modulated plasmonic surfaces demonstrate a highly asymmetric angular dependence with polarity switching around the plasmon resonance conditions. The effects are tentatively attributed to coupling between localized and propagating plasmons.
