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

Photothermal control of the gelation properties of nickel bis(dithiolene) metallogelators under near-infrared irradiation.
TL;DR: This unprecedented association in one single molecule of the two properties, i.e., gelation ability and photothermal effect, gives a highly efficient handle to modulate the gel stability through light irradiation in the NIR region, providing a novel approach to photoresponsive gels.

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.
