Gold Nanoparticles Used in Cancer Cell Diagnostics, Selective Photothermal Therapy and Catalysis of NADH Oxidation Reaction
Gold nanoparticles strongly absorb and scatter visible and near infrared light because of the strongly enhanced electric fields at the surface. This provides the potential of designing novel optically active reagents for simultaneous molecular imaging and photothermal cancer therapy. In this thesis,...
