Plasmonic nanorod array for effective photothermal therapy in hyperthermia

Chem Commun (Camb). 2021 Sep 6;57(71):8961-8964. doi: 10.1039/d1cc03047g.

Abstract

Optical properties of anisotropic gold nanorod arrays inside anodic aluminium oxide substrates enhance the longitudinal absorption intensities and the hyperthermia cancer cell killing at 42.1 °C under photothermal laser exposures at 671 nm.
