Studies on the Plasmon-Induced Photoexcitation Processes of Molecules on Metal Surfaces

This thesis proposes a novel way to catch light energy using an ultrasmall nanostructure. The author has developed photon-materials systems to open the way for novel photoexcitation processes based on the findings obtained from in-situ observation of the systems in which localized surface plasmon (L...
