Thermo-optical Properties of Spherical Homogeneous and Core–Shell Nanoparticles and Their Applications

  • Reference work entry
Handbook of Nanoparticles

Abstract

This review presents the results of the investigation of the interaction of optical (laser) radiation with spherical homogeneous and core–shell nanoparticles, absorption of optical radiation by nanoparticles, conversion of absorbed energy into nanoparticle thermal energy, the efficacy of nanoparticle heating itself, and heat transfer to ambient medium. Different homogeneous metallic (gold, silver, platinum, zinc, etc.) and core–shell (silica–gold, silver–gold, etc.) nanoparticles are considered. The models and results of computer and analytical calculations of nanoparticle heating by radiation pulse have been presented. The nonlinear dependences and comparative analysis of the thermo-optical properties of homogeneous and core–shell nanoparticles on parameters of radiation and nanoparticles are investigated.

The results present the platform for the applications of thermo-optical properties of nanoparticles in photothermal nanotechnology, including light-to-thermal energy conversion and solar energy harvesting, laser nanomedicine, nonlinear optical diagnostics, laser processing of nanoparticles, etc.
