Plasmonic Coupling within Atomically Precise Nanocluster Dimers for Engineering Hot-Carrier Generation and Molecular Activation

Abstract Activating the exceptionally strong N≡N bond remains a fundamental challenge due to the chemical inertness of molecular nitrogen (N2). Plasmonic nanoclusters offer a promising approach by generating localized electromagnetic fields and energetic hot carriers that can dri...
