'Hot' electrons in metallic nanostructures - non-thermal carriers or heating?

These two pictures, heating vs 'hot electrons', are typically presented as orthogonal, and theories either treat one or the other. In a recent work, these two pictures were merged into a single theoretical framework, which enabled them to fully evaluate both the electron distribution and the electron and lattice temperatures of an illuminated nanoparticle.
