The a-Se HARP (High-gain Avalanche Rushing amorphous Photoconductor) target was prepared, and the avalanche characteristics were investigated. In this paper, to study avalanche multiplication at a high electric field, the lucky-drift model was used. In addition, the energy-and field-dependent energy relaxation length was considered. The avalanche multiplication factor was obtained from the current-voltage characteristic of the a-Se HARP target. The threshold field of the 0.4-μm-thick a-Se HARP target was 0.88×108V/m. The hot carrier energy at the threshold field for the avalanche multiplication in the 0.4-μm-thick a-Se HARP target was 0.21 eV. The hot carrier energy in the a-Se layer increases linearly as the electric field increases. The hot carrier energy also saturates as the avalanche multiplication factor increases. In addition, the energy relaxation length between the inelastic scattering events in the a-Se layer saturates as the hot carrier energy and the avalanche multiplication factor increase.

Hot-carriers in plasmonic nanostructures, generated via plasmon decay, play key roles in applications like photocatalysis and in photodetectors that circumvent band-gap limitations. However, direct experimental quantification of steady-state energy distributions of hot-carriers in nanostructures has so far been lacking. We present transport measurements from single-molecule junctions, created by trapping suitably chosen single molecules between an ultra-thin gold film supporting surface plasmon polaritons and a scanning probe tip, that can provide quantification of plasmonic hot-carrier distributions. Our results show that Landau damping is the dominant physical mechanism of hot-carrier generation in nanoscale systems with strong confinement. The technique developed in this work will enable quantification of plasmonic hot-carrier distributions in nanophotonic and plasmonic devices.
