PROBING AND CONTROLLING PHOTOTHERMAL HEAT GENERATION IN PLASMONIC NANOSTRUCTURES

In the emerging field of thermoplasmonics, Joule heating associated with optically resonant plasmonic structures is exploited to generate nanoscale thermal hotspots. The ability to control thermal processes at the nanoscale level has opened the door for several promising applications in medicine, ch...
