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

Heat dissipation in gold–silica core-shell nanoparticles
TL;DR: In this article, heat dissipation from silica-coated gold nanoparticles in both water and ethanol solutions has been examined by time-resolved spectroscopy, and it was shown that the characteristic time constant for heat dissipation depends on the thickness of the silica shell and the solvent, even though the shells are much thicker than the thermal diffusion length corresponding to the time scale.
