Synergistic antimicrobial effects were observed for copper sulfide (CuS) nanoparticles
together with indocyanine green (ICG) in the elimination of wild type pathogenic bacteria …

Near‐infrared (NIR) photothermal therapy by microneedles (MNs) exhibits high potential
against skin diseases. However, high costs, photobleaching of organic agents, low long …

Photothermal microneedle (MN) arrays have the potential to improve the treatment of
various skin conditions such as bacterial skin infections. However, the fabrication of …

This paper addresses a long-standing concern of whether one can measure the refractive
index of a turbid colloid as if it were an equivalent homogeneous medium using standard …

We study the optical reflectivity of confined colloidal films as a function of the angle of
incidence in an internal reflection configuration. Two effective medium models and an …

The complex refractive index is analyzed by measuring its scattering attenuation μ _s, group
index n _g, and group velocity dispersion (GVD) for 100 nm diameter silica nanoparticles …

Currently, there are available a few simple analytical approximations to the complex
effective refractive index that may be used for nanofluids. Namely, the Maxwell Garnett …

We assess the validity and possible use of a simple formula for the complex effective
refractive index of a colloidal suspension of very small particles obtained from the quasi …
