Photo-Aligned Nematic Liquid Crystals Enable the Modulation of Thermoplasmonic Heating

Photo-Aligned Nematic Liquid Crystals Enable the Modulation of Thermoplasmonic Heating

We experimentally demonstrate that the plasmonic heat delivered by a single layer of homogeneously distributed gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), immobilized on a glass substrate, can be optically tuned by taking advantage of the properties of an organic layer based on azobenzene and nematic liquid crystal...
