Abstract

X. Chen, D. Li, and co-workers try to distinguish the challenging yet debatable enhancement mechanism of surface plasmon resonance (SPR) based on the most familiar Au-TiO2 system but with a thin Al2O3 layer placed between them or outside, as reported in article 1500169. Both experiment and simulation reveal that in the TONT-Al2O3-Au system, the enhancement is dominantly governed by SPR-mediated hot-electron injection rather than conventional-thought near-field electromagnetic enhancement.
