Department Name: Physics
Abstract
The coherent oscillations of mobile charge carriers near the surface of good conductors-surface plasmons- have amazing properties. Light can be coupled to these surface plasmons and trapped by them near the interface between a metal and an adjacent material. This leads to the nanoscale confinement of light, impossible by any other means, and a related electromagnetic field enhancement. The associated effects and applications include high sensitivity to the refractive index of surroundings used in biosensors, enhancement of Raman scattering near the metal surfaces used in chemical sensing and detection, enhanced nonlinear optical effects, localised light sources for imaging, and many others. At the same time the influence of the electrons which participate in the formation of surface plasmons on the surroundings of the metal nanostructures is virtually unexplored. Microscopic electron dynamic effects associated with surface plasmons are capable of significantly influencing physical and chemical processes near the metal surface, not (only) as a result of the high electric fields, but also from the transfer of energetic electrons to the adjacent molecules or materials. We propose to develop a comprehensive research programme in order to understand the physics and harness applications associated with such electronic processes, induced by plasmonic excitations, in designer nanostructures. This will open up new paradigms in ultrafast control over nanoscale chemical reactions switchable with light, optically controlled catalysis, optical and electric processes in semiconductor devices induced by plasmonic hot-electrons, as well as nanoscale and ultrafast temperature control, and many other technologies of tomorrow.
Planned Impact
Photonics and nanophotonics are the key enabling technology in many fields and applications and their role in the future is only expected to rise, providing novel disruptive solutions needed for photonics industry growth, as emphasized in the EC H2020 workprogramme, the Photonics21 report: Towards 2020-Photonics driving economic growth in Europe, and the US National Academies document: Photonics-Essential Technology for our Nation. It produces economic and social impact, both directly, as well as through the leverage effect on photonics-enabled applications and markets. The leverage of photonics (defined as the combined contributions photonics makes to the value of services or end products, by enhancing the product functionality or the productivity of the manufacturing process) generated by the European photonics market is worth Euro 58.5billion (21% of the world market) and the European photonics industry employs 290,000 people, with impact on 10% of the EU economy. The UK's Photonic Leadership Group (PLG) report (2013) estimates photonics to be worth £10.5 billion to the domestic economy and to employ some 70,000 people. The proposed programme represents UK-led interdisciplinary research of visionary concepts and disruptive approaches with the aim of unlocking the capacity of plasmonic nanostructures for enhancing functionality of nanophotonic, opto-electronic, biophotonic and photochemical applications that go beyond the limits of current technologies. The proposed workprogramme has the potential to contribute to four of the Great Technologies designated by BIS, namely, big data and energy-efficient computing (by developing nanoscale optical information processing), advanced materials and nanotechnology (by developing new photonic properties arising from nanoscale hybrid structures and photochemistry), energy and its storage (in providing new approaches for photocatalysis and water splitting), quantum technologies (in developing new approaches for the interrogation of single molecules and new nanoscale detectors and light sources).
Particular fields of impact we want to highlight are information technology; energy production, conversion and storage; medical diagnostics and treatment; chemical technologies, overlapping the three Grand Challenges (Energy, Health, and Environment) set by the EPSRC with significant impact on Advanced Materials area. While recent progress in nanotechnology is stimulated by our ability to fabricate and characterize nanoscale systems, the development of so-called 'active' nanoscale devices is still in its infancy. Further growth in this area will require scientists to gain a better understanding of the transient physico-chemical properties of matter and fields at the nanoscale and in ways to controllably tailor these properties artificially, and to enhance the research capacity, knowledge and skills of the private sector: the focus of this research project.

Description | The overall goal of the project was to develop a new research field of plasmon-enhanced microscopic electronic phenomena and apply it in several areas related to photochemistry and photocatalysis, photodetectors and nonlinear optics. Going beyond macroscopic plasmonic effects solely associated with enhanced electromagnetic fields, we aimed to understand, quantify and gain control over fundamental physical and chemical processes mediated by surface plasmons at interfaces in intimate contact with plasmonic nanostructures, and to develop disruptive approaches to their manipulation on nanometric spatial and femtosecond temporal scales. Such electronic processes controlled through plasmonic material parameters and/or nanostructuring are imperative for new advanced applications in nanophotonics, optoelectronics, catalysis, photochemistry and photobiology. During the initial stages of the project, we concentrated on the discovery of new plasmonic materials for hot-electron generation, optimization of the approaches for hot-electron extraction and studies of hot-electron dynamics. After achieving good understanding and control over the parameters affecting hot-electron processes, we focused on designing plasmonic and hybrid plasmonic-functional material nanostructures with which the required hot-electron processes can be amplified and harnessed for practical applications. We have shown that hot-electron effects can be controlled and used to influence significantly various chemical processes. In particular, quantification of the hot-electron effects on chemical processes, organic pollutants decontamination, gas sensing and local heat generation were demonstrated. A new type of photodetectors was developed and studied where the detection is not limited by the semiconductor band-gap and also graphene-based photodetector. nanoscale light sources based on hot-electron tunneling were developed. In nonlinear optics, the control over the hot-electron processes allowed us to not only enhance nonlinear optical responses but also control their time response using the interplay between material and geometrical characteristics of plasmonic nanostructures. During the course of the project, several impactful outreach and industry events were organized, in order to explain the results of the project to general public as well as to promote the results to relevant industry. |

Title | Characterisation of hot electron activity in metal films |
Description | We have developed a technique to measure the activity and mobility of photo excited hot electrons at a metal surface. The technique uses ultrafast pump probe spectroscopy to measure a transient change in the metal surface's reflection due to the generation of hot electrons at the surface. By scanning the pump beam position in space relative to the fixed probe beam, the diffusion of hot carriers can be determined. Mobile hot carriers are expected to be available for initiating chemical reactions. In the current grant, yea re using this to study how effective the hot carriers in various metal films used for prosthetic implants might be for anti-microbial function. |

Results and Impact | Lighting Up 2021, was a series of events hosted to celebrate the UNESCO International Day of Light. Lighting Up 2021 included an art project with light enthusiasts from around the globe and the chance for people to share short videos about an element of light that delighted them (the submissions can be viewed on the London Light Instagram page) and The Shared Language of LIght, an interdisciplinary panel event to celebrate light in all its forms. The Shared Language of Light was hosted by artist and curator Dr Shelley James and after a short introduction fromPI of Reactive Plasmonics Anatoly Zayats, the panelists discussed the Lighting Up submissions and why they found them inspiring. The panellists were physicist Dr James Millen, architect Mark Major, art publisher Kailas Elmer, colour specialist Marianne Shillingford and astronomer Bob Mizon OBE. Of the event, Professor Anatoly Zayats said 'This was a fantastic event which captured all the essence of the International Day of Light and touched upon many aspects from the science of light to simply how light brightens our lives. It is light that made the event possible this year, both figuratively and literally, by connecting our computers through the internet. The discussions and presentations vividly demonstrated the role of light at very small scales, acting as a tool in nanotechnology, and at large scales helping us to study the Universe, the problems of light pollution, and our perception of colours and lighting. Our day-to-day job at the London Institute for Advanced Light Technologies is to study light, but it is important and extremely informative to have a broader conversation on the subject and engage with artists and society. We are proud to host this event and facilitate this fantastic interdisciplinary collaboration.' |
