N2 - Recent advances in understanding the hot-electron dynamics in plasmonic nanostructures have significantly impacted a variety of plasmonically powered physical, chemical, and even biological processes. New insights into their quantum properties and complex relaxation mechanisms enable the efficient generation, transport, and manipulation of hot carriers, making them promising for technological applications such as wavelength-specific sub-bandgap photodetection, plasmon-enhanced solar cells, solar-driven photocatalysis, and ultrafast nonlinear optical devices.
