Light Emission in Metal–Semiconductor Tunnel Junctions: Direct Evidence for Electron Heating by Plasmon Decay

[Image: see text] We study metal–insulator–semiconductor tunnel junctions where the metal electrode is a patterned gold layer, the insulator is a thin layer of Al(2)O(3), and the semiconductor is p-type silicon. We observe light emission due to plasmon-assisted inelastic tunneling from the metal to...
