When high pressure hydrogen(or water) is included in this type of Nanoplasmonic experiment, evanescent waves are produced. These waves confine light, electrons and holes on the surface of the nanowires.
For your convenience as follows: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evanescent_wave An evanescent wave confines the Electromagnetic plasma most intensely at the surface of the nanowire at a distance of 1/3 wavelengths of the irradiating light. The wave’s intensity decays exponentially without absorption as a function of the distance from the boundary at which the wave was formed. Evanescent waves are a general property of the wave-equations of light and electrons. These evanescent waves are a plasma localization mechanism that act just like the magnetic fields in a tokomak. As energy is pumped into the nanowire it cannot escape. The energy of the electrons and light grows based on positive feedback. The incoming radiation strengthens the evanescent waves and these waves drive the electrons and light closer to the surface of the nanowire. The energy in a positive feedback loop as the light and electrons produce shorter and shorter light and electron wavelengths. The extreme curvature at the tips of the nanowire will produce a vortex of light and electrons. These vortex currents will also appear on any rough spots on the wire. It is this dielectric confinement (aka dark mode) of light and elections produced by pressurized hydrogen will gnerate extreme levels of EMF power.
