We present a quantum-mechanical model for surface-assisted carrier excitation by optical fields in plasmonic nanostructures of arbitrary shape. We derive an explicit expression, in terms of local fields inside the metal structure, for surface absorbed power and surface scattering rate that determine the enhancement of carrier excitation efficiency near the metal-dielectric interface. We show that surface scattering is highly sensitive to the local field polarization and can be incorporated into metal-dielectric function along with phonon and impurity scattering. We also show that the obtained surface scattering rate describes surface-assisted plasmon decay (Landau damping) in nanostructures larger than the nonlocality scale. Our model can be used for calculations of plasmon-assisted hot carrier generation rates in photovoltaics and photochemistry applications. 相似文献

Initiation of a particular behavior requires not only activationof the neural center directly involved in its control but alsoinhibition of the neural networks controlling competing behaviors.In the pteropod mollusc, Clione limacina, many identified serotonergicneurons activate or modulate different elements of the swimmingsystem resulting in the initiation or acceleration of the swimmingbehavior. Cerebral serotonergic neurons are described here,which produce excitatory inputs to the swimming system as wellas inhibitory inputs to the neural centers that control competingbehaviors. Whole-body withdrawal behavior is incompatible withswimming activity in Clione. The main characteristic of whole-bodywithdrawal is complete inhibition of swimming. Cerebral serotonergicneurons were found to produce a prominent inhibition of thepleural neurons that control whole-body withdrawal behavior.By inhibiting pleural withdrawal cells, serotonergic neuronseliminate its inhibitory influence on the swimming system andthus favor increased swimming speed. Serotonergic neurons alsoproduce a prominent inhibition of the Pleural White Cell, whichis presumably involved in reproductive or egg-laying behavior.Thus the serotonergic system directly activates swimming systemand, at the same time, alters a variety of other neural systemspreventing simultaneous initiation of incompatible behaviors. 相似文献
