In vitro and in vivo two-photon luminescence imaging of single gold nanorods
Haifeng Wang,Terry B. Huff,Daniel A. Zweifel,Wei He,Philip S. Low,Alexander Wei,Ji-Xin Cheng +6 more
TL;DR: Gold nanorods excited at 830 nm on a far-field laser-scanning microscope produced strong two-photon luminescence (TPL) intensities, with a cos(4) dependence on the incident polarization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gold Nanorods Mediate Tumor Cell Death by Compromising Membrane Integrity
TL;DR: Light-activated therapies can be used to eradicate diseased cells and tissues in a noninvasive manner by employing exogenous agents with large absorption cross sections, confining damage to areas of interest with minimal collateral effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hyperthermic effects of gold nanorods on tumor cells
TL;DR: Plasmon-resonant gold nanorods, which have large absorption cross sections at near-infrared frequencies, are excellent candidates as multifunctional agents for image-guided therapies based on localized hyperthermia but render the tumor cells highly susceptible to photothermal damage when irradiated at the nanorod' longitudinal plasmon resonance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gold Nanorods as Contrast Agents for Biological Imaging: Optical Properties, Surface Conjugation and Photothermal Effects
TL;DR: The combination of plasmon‐resonant optical properties, intense local photothermal effects and robust surface chemistry render gold NRs as promising theragnostic agents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Resonant Field Enhancements from Metal Nanoparticle Arrays
TL;DR: In this paper, a new theory based on the RLC circuit analogy has been developed to produce analytical values for EM field enhancements within the arrays, revealing a critical relationship between particle size and interparticle spacing.
