Release mechanism of octadecyl rhodamine B chloride from Au nanorods by ultrafast laser pulses

We investigated the release of octadecyl rhodamine B chloride (R[subscript 18]) loaded onto cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) coated gold nanorods (NR) by pulsed ultrafast laser excitation. R[subscript 18] intercalates into the hydrophobic CTAB bilayer on the NR surface and can exchange on and o...
