Computational study of defects and heat transfer in gold nanostructures

Gold nanoparticles are promising tools for cancer therapy and cell imaging due to their non-toxicity, high heat conduction and tunable optical properties for the infraredvisible region. Nanoparticles production often involves thermal annealing, a process that changes the structure of the nanoparticl...
