N1 - Due to the enhancement of photochemical reactions by plasmonic fields, he embarked on promoting a Priority Area Research of the Grant-in-Aid for Scientific Research on Strong Photon\u2013Molecule Coupling Fields for Chemical Reactions from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), carrying the catchphrase \u201CTwo-photon-induced reactions with a flashlight\u201D. This project, conducted from 2007 to 2011, brought together over 60 researchers from various fields in Japan to advance research in plasmonic chemistry. From this project emerged numerous research achievements that later became vibrant areas of study, including coupled plasmonic systems, forbidden excitations utilizing the breakdown of the long-wavelength approximation, and selective excitation of various optical modes. Particularly, research on nanofabrication using localized optical fields and light energy conversion utilizing hot carriers were deeply explored as two, major, common themes of the project. A significant research outcome was the photocurrent generation driven by the oxidation reaction of water using localized surface plasmons, attracting global attention. As a result of this project, symposia have been held without fail at Pacifichem in Honolulu every five years since 2010, where they are conducted jointly with overseas researchers. In 2009, an international symposium titled \u201CInternational Symposium on Advances in Nanostructure-Enhanced Photochemical Reactions and Photoenergy Conversion\u201D was organized in collaboration with Professor Johan Hofkens at KU Leuven in Belgium, drawing renowned researchers in the field from around the world. Additionally, as a concluding symposium, the \u201CConference on The Nanostructure-Enhanced Photo-Energy Conversion\u201D was held in Tokyo in 2012, where 14 globally renowned researchers including Professor Johan Hofkens and Professor Paul Mulvaney at the University of Melbourne, along with members of this project, gathered for fruitful presentations and discussions. During the project, Dr. Yoshiaki Nishijima, currently an associate professor at Yokohama National University, obtained a Ph.D. degree in research on laser oscillation using photonic crystals. Subsequently, as a postdoctoral researcher, he achieved research results on plasmon-induced optoelectronic conversion systems. Dr. Yukie Yokota, currently an assistant professor at Sophia University, obtained a Ph.D. degree in research on the electromagnetic effects of surface-enhanced Raman scattering.
