What will happen to the number of electrons at surface When the Plasmon approaching the resonance condition from non-resonance condition?
Dear Dr. Igor Thank you for the answer. Is this amplitude enhancement increases the temperature of the plasmons?
There will not be any change in the number density of electrons. Only the amplitude of free electron oscillation will increase. The kinetic energy of electrons will certainly increase due to absorption of energy from the electric field of electromagnetic radiation interacting with the nanoparticles.
When you illuminate anything with light it is heated. The temperature depends on the intensity of light.
But the phrase "the temperature of the plasmons" does not make sense. Temperature is a characteristic of an equilibrium between the physical system and a bath.
