Temperature in </=10-microliter aqueous suspensions of 20-nanometer gold particles irradiated by a continuous wave Ar+ ion laser at 514 nm increased to a maximum equilibrium value in proportion to incident laser power and to nanoparticle content at low concentration.Abstract:
Visible radiation at resonant frequencies is transduced to thermal energy by surface plasmons on gold nanoparticles. Temperature in ≤10-microliter aqueous suspensions of 20-nanometer gold particles irradiated by a continuous wave Ar+ ion laser at 514 nm increased to a maximum equilibrium value. This value increased in proportion to incident laser power and in proportion to nanoparticle content at low concentration. Heat input to the system by nanoparticle transduction of resonant irradiation equaled heat flux outward by conduction and radiation at thermal equilibrium. The efficiency of transducing incident resonant light to heat by microvolume suspensions of gold nanoparticles was determined by applying an energy balance to obtain a microscale heat-transfer time constant from the transient temperature profile. Measured values of transduction efficiency were increased from 3.4% to 9.9% by modulating the incident continuous wave irradiation.read more

Superparamagnetic Nanoparticles with Efficient Near-Infrared Photothermal Effect at the Second Biological Window
TL;DR: It is shown that IONs absorb and convert into heat the infrared radiation characteristic of the so-called second-biological window and, in consequence, they can be used for thermal ablation in such wavelengths.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present the post-synthesis optimization and characterization of biocompatible Au NTs produced in a one-step reduction of Au(III) with thiosulfate ions, and demonstrate that the position of the absorption peaks can be fixed at a desired wavelength by the addition of different SH-containing molecules.

Cancer Cell Imaging and Photothermal Therapy in the Near-Infrared Region by Using Gold Nanorods
TL;DR: It is found that, after exposure to continuous red laser at 800 nm, malignant cells require about half the laser energy to be photothermally destroyed than the nonmalignant cells, so both efficient cancer cell diagnostics and selective photothermal therapy are realized at the same time.

Anomalously increased effective thermal conductivities of ethylene glycol-based nanofluids containing copper nanoparticles
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that a "nanofluid" consisting of copper nanometer-sized particles dispersed in ethylene glycol has a much higher effective thermal conductivity than either pure or pure glycol or even polyethylene glycol containing the same volume fraction of dispersed oxide nanoparticles.
