Abstract

Paper presents and discusses the features of laser-induced thermal dynamics of the gold nanoshells, which is associated with their relatively large size and layered structure. Unlike bulk nanoparticles the existence of a novel thermal phenomenon - hoop-shaped narrow hot zone on the nanoshell surface - is found. It is caused by spatial-temporal inhomogeneities of light field diffracted by a nanoshell and corresponding absorption of laser radiation. The numerical solution of time-dependent heat conduction equation accounting for corresponding spatially inhomogeneous distribution of heating sources is presented.
