Field intensity enhancements in plasmonic hot spot regions can exceed 10^3.
“Field intensity enhancements in plasmonic “hot spot” regions can exceed 103”
From Ultrafast terahertz emission from emerging symmetry-broken materials (2023) · cites this paper as [183]
The paper discusses field concentration in plasmonic structures (What can and cannot be done?, p. 6) and plasmonic enhancement of Raman scattering (Why does plasmonics always mean loss?, p. 3). It does not state that field intensity in hot spots can exceed 10^3; the numerical threshold and hot-spot condition are unsupported by our copy. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
