Ultrafast nano generation of acoustic waves in water via a single carbon nanotube
Michele Diego, Marco Gandolfi, Alessandro Casto +9
Generation of ultra high frequency acoustic waves in water is key to nano resolution sensing, acoustic imaging and theranostics. In this context water immersed carbon nanotubes (CN…
Tuning photoacoustics with nanotransducers via Thermal Boundary Resistance and Laser Pulse Duration
Michele Diego, Marco Gandolfi, Stefano Giordano +6
The photoacoustic effect in liquids, generated by metal nanoparticles excited with short laser pulses, offers high contrast imaging and promising medical treatment techniques. Unde…
Energy-Resolved Femtosecond Hot Electron Dynamics in Single Plasmonic Nanoparticles
Jacob Pettine, Paolo Maioli, Fabrice Vallee +2
Efficient excitation and harvesting of hot carriers from nanoscale metals is central to many emerging photochemical, photovoltaic, and ultrafast optoelectronic applications. Yet di…
Nonequilibrium Electron Interactions in Metal Films
Natalia Del Fatti, Roland Bouffanais, Fabrice Vallée +1
Ultrafast relaxation dynamics of an athermal electron distribution is investigated in silver films using a femtosecond pump-probe technique with 18 fs pulses in off-resonant condit…
Coherent acoustic vibration of metal nanoshells
C. Guillon, P. Langot, N. Del Fatti +5
Using time-resolved pump-probe spectroscopy we have performed the first investigation of the vibrational modes of gold nanoshells. The fundamental isotropic mode launched by a femt…
