The use of optically controlled vapor bubbles for controlled synthesis and deposition at
interfaces is a promising emerging technique, which is intrinsically limited by the ability of …

The self‐assembly of gold micropetals and microfluidic control using their photothermal
properties are demonstrated experimentally in this work. Gold micropetals are fabricated on …

Plasmonic nanobubbles are composite objects resulting from the interaction between light
and metallic nanoparticles immersed in a fluid. Plasmonic nanobubbles have applications in …

The nucleation threshold of nanobubble formation around the surface of nanoparticles with
small sizes is significantly high under the irradiation of incident light, which has limited their …

Recently, some studies have shown that the vaporization of plasmonic nanofluids (PNFs) is
observed to be more intensive than that of pure water during the light-induced heating …
