研究目的
Investigating the effectiveness of using gold nanospheres as absorbers in biomedical applications and plasmonic photothermal therapy by studying optimal plasmonic multipole resonances in a lossy surrounding medium.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that gold nanospheres can achieve near-optimal plasmonic dipole absorption in lossy biological tissues, with smaller spheres (1.5 nm) showing significant absorption rates relative to the background medium. The theory provides a basis for validating the effectiveness of plasmonic absorbers in biomedical applications.
研究不足
The study focuses on rotationally invariant spheres and specific sizes of gold nanospheres. The effectiveness is validated based on a specific dielectric model for gold, and the analysis is limited to electric dipole (TM) cases for non-magnetic materials.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs a generalized optical theorem for the absorption of a sphere in a lossy medium and uses straightforward analysis to maximize a concave function to derive upper bounds on multipole absorption.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Gold nanospheres of sizes typically used in biomedical applications are studied. The Brendel-Bormann (BB) dielectric model for gold is used.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Not explicitly mentioned.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The study involves numerical examples based on the BB model for gold's dielectric function, analyzing absorption cross sections and relative absorption ratios for different sphere sizes and background media.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The analysis includes comparing the dipole absorption of gold nanospheres to theoretical upper bounds and variational bounds, using normalized cross sections and relative absorption ratios.
