Gold nanoparticle ensembles as heaters and actuators: melting and collective plasmon resonances

Gold nanoparticle ensembles as heaters and actuators: melting and collective plasmon resonances

<p>Abstract</p><p>We describe the peculiar conditions under which optically driven gold nanoparticles (NPs) can significantly increase temperature or even melt a surrounding matrix. The heating and melting processes occur under light illumination and involve the plasmon resonance....
