Maximum temperature of 0.5-W infrared laser-Illuminated gold nanorod platforms

Data concern a system consisted of two pieces of borosilicate glass surrounded by air and joined together by a transparent glue, which is to serve as a thermal transducer. On the top and bottom sides of the smaller piece, gold nanorods are dislocated. Glass is prepared here due to its high transparency, facilitating heat to be produced within the system. On the top of the glassy domain (4), where the gold nanorods are dislocated, parallel laser beams are directed. Due to the large distance between them, some light penetrates the top and reaches the second, bottom gold surface. Results concern time responses of maximum temperature 5 μm above and 5 μm under glassy domain of the AuNRs platforms. Platforms are subjected to a 0.5-W infrared laser illumination during 70 seconds.
