Résumé

We show that nanoscale metal contacts (constrictions) can serve as an efficient sources of plasmons for future nanoplasmonic integrated circuits. Electron, passing ballistically through nanoscale contact, can emit plasmons with the probability -0.1 due to multiple collisions with walls of the constriction.
