Fig. 3: Temporal evolution of the generated hot carriers.
From: The dynamics of plasmon-induced hot carrier creation in colloidal gold
A The difference spectrum (pumped-unpumped signal) shows kinetic traces of energy extraction points. B Transient changes of the zero intercept with energy scale (Fermi level). C Time traces showing intensity versus time delay extracted at X-ray photon energies of 11,916 eV (representing hot holes, green trace) and 11,922 eV (representing hot electrons, orange trace). The solid line represents the fit obtained using the methodology detailed in ref. 75 and described in the SI. The signal of the hot electrons was inverted in order to be plotted on the same y-axis.
