Electron-Phonon Temperature Inversion in Nanostructures under Pulsed Photoexcitation
Qian Ye, Stephen K. Sanders, Andrea Schirato +1
Photoexcitation of metallic nanostructures with short optical pulses can drive non-thermal electronic states, which, upon decay, lead to elevated electronic temperatures ($T_e \gtr…
Quantifying efficiency of remote excitation for surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy in molecular junctions
Shusen Liao, Yunxuan Zhu, Qian Ye +4
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is enabled by local surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) in metallic nanogaps. When SERS is excited by direct illumination of the nanogap,…
How To Identify Plasmons from the Optical Response of Nanostructures
Runmin Zhang, Luca Bursi, Joel D. Cox +11
A promising trend in plasmonics involves shrinking the size of plasmon-supporting structures down to a few nanometers, thus enabling control over light-matter interaction at extrem…
Plasmonic heating in Au nanowires at low Temperatures: The role of thermal boundary resistance
Pavlo Zolotavin, Alessandro Alabastri, Peter Nordlander +1
Inelastic electron tunneling and surface-enhanced optical spectroscopies at the molecular scale require cryogenic local temperatures even under illumination - conditions that are c…
