Laser Photothermal Melting and Fragmentation of Gold Nanorods: Energy and Laser Pulse-Width Dependence

Link, S., Burda, C., Mohamed, M. B., Nikoobakht, B., El-Sayed, M. A.·1999·The Journal of Physical Chemistry A

Abstract

We studied the shape transformation (by use of TEM and optical absorption spectroscopy) of gold nanorods in micellar solution by exposure to laser pulses of different pulse width (100 fs and 7 ns) and different energies (μJ to mJ) at 800 nm, where the longitudinal surface plasmon oscillation of the nanorods absorb. At moderate energies, the femtosecond irradiation melts the nanorods to near spherical particles of comparable volumes while the nanosecond pulses fragment them to smaller near-spherical particles. At high energies, fragmentation is also observed for the femtosecond irradiation. A mechanism involving the rate of energy deposition as compared to the rate of electron−phonon and phonon−phonon relaxation processes is proposed to determine the final fate of the laser-exposed nanorods, i.e., melting or fragmentation.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
