Controlling Nanoscale Heat with Optically Coupled Plasmonic Systems - DataSet

The dataset contains the data used to generate the figures in the article titled "Controlling Nanoscale Heat With Optically Coupled Plasmonic Systems" written by José Luis Montaño-Priede and Marek Grzelczak (https://doi.org/10.1002/nap2.70167). The management of thermal effects in plasmonic nanostructures is frequently viewed as a detrimental byproduct rather than a useful, controllable entity. Through numerical investigation of experimentally-achievable systems, it is demonstrated how plasmon hybridization and near-field coupling dictate the magnitude and spatial distribution of temperature, enabling precise spatiotemporal control over nanoscale heating. The results highlight the critical role of polarization and gap distance in tuning the thermal output of dimers, the ability of a trimer nanolens to focus heat into a sub-diffraction volume, and pronounced thermal differences in a switchable nanoparticle cluster. This work establishes a framework for designing advanced thermoplasmonic systems where heat is not merely a detriment, but a dynamically controllable element for applications in catalysis, health, or active photonic devices.
