Title: Molecular scale nanophotonics: hot carriers, strong coupling, and electrically driven plasmonic processes
Plasmonic modes confined to metallic nanostructures at the atomic and molecular scale push the boundaries of light–matter interactions. Within these extreme plasmonic structures of ultrathin nanogaps, coupled nanoparticles, and tunnelling junctions, new physical phenomena arise when plasmon resonances couple to electronic, exitonic, or vibrational excitations, as well as the efficient generation of non-radiative hot carriers. This review surveys the latest experimental and theoretical advances in the regime of extreme nano-plasmonics, with an emphasis on plasmon-induced hot carriers, strong coupling effects, and electrically driven processes at the molecular scale. We will also highlight related nanophotonic and optoelectronic applications including plasmon-enhanced molecular light sources, photocatalysis, photodetection, and strong coupling with low dimensional materials.  more » « less

    Hot-carriers in plasmonic nanostructures, generated via plasmon decay, play key roles in applications like photocatalysis and in photodetectors that circumvent band-gap limitations. However, direct experimental quantification of steady-state energy distributions of hot-carriers in nanostructures has so far been lacking. We present transport measurements from single-molecule junctions, created by trapping suitably chosen single molecules between an ultra-thin gold film supporting surface plasmon polaritons and a scanning probe tip, that can provide quantification of plasmonic hot-carrier distributions. Our results show that Landau damping is the dominant physical mechanism of hot-carrier generation in nanoscale systems with strong confinement. The technique developed in this work will enable quantification of plasmonic hot-carrier distributions in nanophotonic and plasmonic devices.

    Plasmonic materials are promising photocatalysts as they are well suited to convert light into hot carriers and heat. Hot electron transfer is suggested as the driving force in many plasmon-driven reactions. However, to date, there are no direct molecular measures of the rate and yield of plasmon-to-molecule electron transfer or energy of these electrons on the timescale of plasmon decay. Here, we use ultrafast and spectroelectrochemical surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy to quantify electron transfer from a plasmonic substrate to adsorbed methyl viologen molecules. We observe a reduction yield of 2.4 to 3.5% on the picosecond timescale, with plasmon-induced potentials ranging from − 3.1 to − 4.5 mV. Excitingly, some of these reduced species are stabilized and persist for tens of minutes. This work provides concrete metrics toward optimizing material–molecule interactions for efficient plasmon-driven photocatalysis.

    The generation of nonequilibrium hot-carriers from the decay of surface plasmons has been attracting intense research attention in the last decade due to both the fundamental aspects of extreme light-matter interactions and potential practical applications. Here, we overview the physics associated with plasmon-assisted hot-carrier generation and outline the key applications of hot-carrier processes for photodetection, photovoltaics and photocatalysis. We also discuss the recent developments in employing molecular tunnel junctions as barriers for extracting hot-carriers and provide an outlook on the potential of this emerging field for sustainable energy.

    Plasmonic nanostructures have been demonstrated as emergent photocatalysts because of their efficient photon absorption and their ability to produce hot carriers. However, the plasmon-generated hot carriers decay through ultrafast relaxation pathways, resulting in a short lifetime that impedes the exploitation of hot carriers for chemical reactions. Charge separation at the heterojunction of the hybrid nanostructures can counteract the ultrafast decay to extend the carrier lifetime. Here, we fabricate hybrid nanostructures composed of gold nanorods and a carbon thin film and demonstrate efficient charge transfer between these two materials. Using single-particle dark-field scattering spectroscopy, we observe a broadening of the longitudinal plasmon for gold nanorods on a carbon film compared to those on a glass substrate. We attribute this plasmon damping to the electron transfer from gold nanorods to the carbon film and exclude the contribution from plasmon-induced resonance energy transfer. The electron transfer efficiencies are calculated as 52.8 ± 4.8 and 57.4 ± 4.0% for carbon films with thicknesses of 10 and 25 nm, respectively. This work demonstrates efficient charge separation at the gold–carbon film interface, which can extend the lifetime of hot carriers to promote plasmonic photocatalysts.

    The manipulation of coupled quantum excitations is of fundamental importance in realizing novel photonic and optoelectronic devices. We use electroluminescence to probe plasmon–exciton coupling in hybrid structures consisting of a nanoscale plasmonic tunnel junction and few-layer two-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenide transferred onto the junction. The resulting hybrid states act as a novel dielectric environment that affects the radiative recombination of hot carriers in the plasmonic nanostructure. We determine the plexcitonic spectrum from the electroluminescence and find Rabi splittings exceeding 50 meV in the strong coupling regime. Our experimental findings are supported by electromagnetic simulations that enable us to explore systematically and in detail the emergence of plexciton polaritons as well as the polarization characteristics of their far-field emission. Electroluminescence modulated by plexciton coupling provides potential applications for engineering compact photonic devices with tunable optical and electrical properties.
