Abstract
Photothermal (PT) technique was applied to the detection of laser-induced local thermal effects around absorbing nanoparticles into cells. The experiments demonstrated the capability of this technique for studying the threshold and the dynamic of thermal events around even a single particle in a broad temperature range, including monitoring of microbubble dynamic. PT technique shows promise for optimizing cancer-cell killing by incorporation of gold nanoparticles into the cells (selective “nanophotothermolysis”), as verified by electron microscopy and conventional viability tests.Keywords
