Gold Nanorods: From Synthesis and Properties to Biological and Biomedical Applications
TL;DR: Of all the possible nanoparticle shapes, gold nanorods are especially intriguing as they offer strong plasmonic fields while exhibiting excellent tunability and biocompatibility, according to a review of their radiative and nonradiative properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gold nanoparticles: Optical properties and implementations in cancer diagnosis and photothermal therapy
TL;DR: The surface plasmon resonance of gold nanoparticles leads to strong electromagnetic fields on the particle surface and consequently enhances all the radiative properties such as absorption and scattering as discussed by the authors, and the strongly absorbed light is converted to heat quickly via a series of nonradiative processes.

Chemistry and properties of nanocrystals of different shapes.
TL;DR: The interest in nanoscale materials stems from the fact that new properties are acquired at this length scale and, equally important, that these properties are equally important.

Cancer Cell Imaging and Photothermal Therapy in the Near-Infrared Region by Using Gold Nanorods
TL;DR: It is found that, after exposure to continuous red laser at 800 nm, malignant cells require about half the laser energy to be photothermally destroyed than the nonmalignant cells, so both efficient cancer cell diagnostics and selective photothermal therapy are realized at the same time.
