Sommaire:

Nanoplasmonics is an active field of research, based on the use of noble metal nanoparticles. Such nano-objects can behave as efficient nanosources of light or nanosources of heat under illumination at their plasmonic resonance wavelength. Many applications of nanoplasmonics have been developed these last two decades, e. g. in nanochemistry, biosensing, microscopy, biomedicine, magnetic recording, etc.

This presentation will focus on nanoplasmonics using noble metal nanoparticles as nanosources of heat, an area of research called thermoplasmonics. The importance and impact of this field of research will be presented through an overview of all the applications, with a particular and critical focus on photothermal cancer therapy, the most promoted application in thermoplasmonics. Then, some of the applications developed in thermoplasmonics at the Institut Fresnel in Marseille will be presented, from physics to chemistry and cell biology.
