If you mean surface plasmon-polaritons by "plasmons", then this depends completely on the nature of the metal and the doping level of the semiconductor as well as on size and shape...
Dear sir,i am really happy with your answer,it's really very very impressive,the Nature article is too much helpful.thank you so much.
Dear @vasanthan Devaraj sir,i want to say,that currently i am working on surface plasmon resonance for detection of low refractive index in variation in liquid.
Surface plasmons are a collection motion of electrons in a metal responding to the incident electromagnetic waves. According to Drude model, each metal can be described by a plasma frequency i.e. metal looks like electron gas. The response of the metal to an incident EM wave depends on the matching between the incident frequency (or wavelength) and plasma frequency. The incident electric field is the driving oscillating force that act on an electron in a metal bound with elastic force (spring like), with a friction or interaction from other electrons. The response of an electron to an incident EM wave is like a swing respond to a push from incident driving force (E).
