DESCRIPTION

A new scientific review (eLight, "Hot-electron dynamics in plasmonic nanostructures: fundamentals, applications and overlooked aspects") explores the exciting potential of hot carriers, energetic electrons generated by light in plasmonic nanostructures. These tiny structures hold immense promise for future technologies due to their unique way of interacting with light and creating hot carriers.
