To accelerate the design of plasmonic alloy nanoparticles for application in solar energy conversion devices, a detailed understanding of their electronic structure is required. Here, the authors use an atomistic modelling approach that combines a solution of Maxwell’s equations with large-scale tight-binding simulations to study the generation of hot carriers in large spherical gold-silver alloy nanoparticles.
