How to evaluate temperature at single-molecule, single-particle and ensemble levels — •Simone Ezendam, Julian Gargiulo, and Emiliano Cortés — Physics department, University of Munich, Germany

Understanding temperature dynamics across various scales ( single-molecule, single-particle, and ensemble) is pivotal in harnessing plasmonic catalysis for enhanced chemical reactivity. We present three studies investigating this intricate interplay. First, employing super-resolution fluorescence microscopy, we probe single-particle plasmonic catalysis, unveiling distinct pathways and spatial reactivity [1]. Second, through single-particle thermometry, we explore morphology-driven light-to-heat conversion in Au/Pd nanoparticles, unraveling intriguing photothermal responses [2]. Finally, we introduce Anti Stokes thermometry to measure temperature in plasmonic ensembles, validating its efficacy in understanding light-induced heating of nanoparticle arrays [3]. These findings deepen our understanding of plasmonic heating, guiding the design of future nanocatalysts.
