| Description | Journal: Nanotechnology Gold nanospheres and nanorods are the promising agents for photoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy. In this work, seed-mediated methods were optimized for the synthesis of gold nanosphere and nanorod collides of different sizes. Nanosecond pulse photoacoustic and photothermal analysis of these nanoparticles were carried out and compared with finite-element simulation.The simulations were performed to quantify the size-dependent photoacoustic signal enhancement for nanosphere and nanorod. The non-sphericity contribution of nanosphere was found to enhance the photoacoustic signal. Nanosecond pulse photoacoustic studies of nanorods of different aspect ratio were carried out. Nanorods of aspect ratio ~ 4.8 were found to be the most efficient photoacoustic signal generator. Photoacoustic studies of nanorod at varying laser fluence were performed and threshold fluence of 5 mJ/cm2 was observed. Nanorods exposed to nanosecond laser pulses undergoes size and shape variations which are confirmed by optical absorbance and transmission electron microscopy measurements. Simulations of nanorods of different aspect ratio and diameter were performed to investigate the photoacoustic signal enhancement and photothermal stability. Miniature size nanorod of 10 nm diameter and aspect ratio 5 was found most appropriate in terms of photoacoustic signal generation and photothermal stability. |
