Density Functional Tight-Binding Captures Plasmon-Driven H$_2$ Dissociation on Al Nanocrystals
Real-time density functional tight-binding simulations show that UV plasmons in aluminum nanocrystals generate hot electrons able to dissociate H2 on femtosecond timescales, with thresholds similar to silver and below gold.
