Spiers Memorial Lecture : Introductory lecture: Hot-electron science and microscopic processes in plasmonics and catalysis

Abstract

In these introductory remarks we discuss the generation of nonequilibrium electrons in metals, their properties, and how they can be utilized in two emerging applications: for extending the capabilities of photodetection (left), and for photocatalysis (right), lowering the barriers of chemical reactions.
