Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have attracted the particular attention of nanoscience and
nanoengineering due to their unique localized surface plasmonic resonance (LSPR) …

As one kind of noble metal nanostructures, the plasmonic gold nanostructures possess
unique optical properties as well as good biocompatibility, satisfactory stability, and …

The photothermal (PT) signal arises from slight changes of the index of refraction in a
sample due to absorption of a heating light beam. Refractive index changes are measured …

Over the past few decades, the synthetic development of ultra-small nanoparticles has
become an important strategy in nano-medicine, where smaller-sized nanoparticles are …

Cancer is a dynamic disease characterized by its heterogeneous nature. This heterogeneity
results in critical problems that interfere with the eradication of cancer tumors such as …

Macrophage-mediated delivery of drugs or nanoparticles has great potential in cancer
treatment because it can avoid interception by the immune system and cross the blood …

Plasmonic nanoparticles are endowed profound capability for sensing, biomedicine, and
cancer therapy. However, the inaccessibly adjustable wavelength in near infrared (NIR) …

Bimetallic nanocatalysts have the potential to surmount current limitations in industrial
catalysis if their electronic and optical properties can be effectively controlled. However …

Here we report a novel assembly structure of near-infrared plasmonic gold nanoparticles
(AuNPs), possessing both photoacoustic (PA) and photothermal (PT) properties. The …

We examine the effects of aspect ratio (AR) heterogeneity of an assembly of gold nanorods
(GNRs) in a colloid on the total cross-section for its light scattering via localized surface …
