“Hot” electron generation in plasmonic nanostructures – thermal vs. non-thermal effects

Research output: Contribution to journalConference articlepeer-review

Abstract

We present a self-consistent theory of the steady-state electron distribution in metals under continuous-wave illumination which treats both thermal and non-thermal effects. We show that reported faster chemical reactions likely originate from pure heating.
