2_FocusSession.SC2: Thermoplasmonics and Photo-thermal Applications 2

Organized by Prof. Alessandro Alabastri (Rice University) and Prof. Remo Proietti Zaccaria (Italian Institute of Technology & Ningbo Institute of Materials and Technology Engineering, CAS)

Session's Information:

Plasmonics is a well known branch of photonics where electromagnetic radiation couples to bounded electronic oscillations in nanostructured conductive materials. Plasmonic oscillations, upon decay, can excite electron-hole pairs which eventually transfer their energy to the lattice, i.e. they generate heat. Thermoplasmonics deals with the implications of obtaining nanoscale heat sources and/or high temperature nanostructures induced by plasmonic coupling. The possibility to realize and control nano-heaters unlocks a wide range of potential photo-thermal applications. We encourage submissions which can contribute to the field of plasmonic heating, broadly defined. We welcome both fundamental studies and applications including but not limited to: • Fabrication (e.g. Photothermal curing) • Biomedicine (e.g. Photothermal cancer therapy, Photoablation or Heat induced drug deivery) • Thermo-Optical manipulation (e.g. Thermophoretic effects, Phononic engineering, Heat in nano-junctions) • Energy/Power generation (e.g. thermal emitters, thermionic and photo-enhanced thermionic emission) • Chemistry (e.g. thermal catalysis) • Imaging (e.g. photothermal imaging) • Phase change (e.g. nanoscale enhanced thermal water distillation/desalination)
