Electron–Phonon Coupling and Nonthermal Effects in Gold Nano-Objects at High Electronic Temperatures

Electron–Phonon Coupling and Nonthermal Effects in Gold Nano-Objects at High Electronic Temperatures

Laser irradiation of metals is widely used in research and applications. In this work, we study how the material geometry affects electron–phonon coupling in nano-sized gold samples: an ultrathin layer, nano-rod, and two types of gold nanoparticles (cubic and octahedral). We use the combined tight-b...
