Plasmonic photothermal chemistry on single nanoparticles — •Andrea Baldi — Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Metal nanoparticles strongly absorb light thanks to light-driven oscillations of their free electrons called plasmon resonances. The decay of these resonances can be used to drive chemical reactions via heating of the surrounding environment. In this talk, I will show how we quantify photothermal heating on single nanoparticles using a novel Raman-based thermometry [1] and how we use localized temperature gradients to drive the synthesis of hierarchical core-shell nanostructures [2].
