A Two-photon and time-resolved photoemission platform for the study of hot electrons and holes in plasmonenabled physical and chemical processes

Abstract

This proposal requests funds to purchase instrumentation to study how hot electrons and holes, originating in metallic nanoparticles, can be used to drive unexpected (otherwise “impossible”) chemical processes. The instrumentation will enable two-photon photoemission studies to see how to effectively generate and utilize hot carriers in these processes, and how hot carrier generation and properties are controlled by the metallic nanoparticle properties.
