[OMC6-01(Invited)] Plasmon - assisted photochemistry, chirality, and the hot - electron generation in plasmonic nanocrystals

*Alexander Govorov¹ (1. Ohio University, USA)

The generation of energetic (hot) electrons and the photoheating are intrinsic properties of any optically excited plasmonic nanocrystal [1,2]. In addition, high-energy hot electrons and phototemperature contribute to the kinetic processes observed in colloidal nanocrystals, metal-semiconductor hybrids, plasmonic Schottky photodetectors, and metastructures [1,2].
