The EFSL research group, in collaboration CNR-SPIN, CNR-IFN and University of Genoa, has published a paper in the ACS Photonics on the “Thermometric Calibration of the Ultrafast Relaxation Dynamics in Plasmonic Au Nanoparticles”, by Marzia Ferrera, Giuseppe Della Valle, Maria Sygletou, Michele Magnozzi, Daniele Catone, Patrick O’Keeffe, Alessandra Paladini, Francesco Toschi, Lorenzo Mattera, Maurizio Canepa, and Francesco Bisio
The EFSL research group, in collaboration with CNR-SPIN and University of Genoa has published a study in the Journal of Physical Chemistry C on the efficiency of ultrafast melting of gold nanoparticles upon either interband (5d →6sp) or plasmonic excitation. Interestingly the interband excitation turns out to be more efficient than plasmonic excitation for melting of the particles suggesting not all the energy absorbed by the plasmonic absorption is turned into heat. These results will have consequences both of thermoplasmonics and photocatalysis.
