To facilitate analysis of nanoscale heat transfer in nanoparticle systems the thermal properties of ligand layers must be understood. To this end, we use an optical pump-probe technique to study the thermal transport across ligands on gold nanorods and into the solvent. We find that varying properties of the ligand can have large impacts on the thermal decay of a nanorod after exposure to a laser pulse. By raising the concentration of free CTAB from 1 mM and 10 mM in solutions, the CTAB layer’s effective thermal interface conductance increases three fold. The transition occurs near the CTAB critical micelle concentration. Similar results are found for other ligand layers.

AbstractOptical pump-probe measurements were performed on planar slab waveguides containing silicon nanocrystals in an attempt to measure optical gain from photo-excited silicon nanocrystals. Two experiments were performed, one with a continuous-wave probe beam and a pulsed pump beam, giving a time resolution of approximately 25 ns, and the other with a pulsed pump and probe beam, giving a time resolution of approximately 10 ps. In both cases the intensity of the probe beam was found to be attenuated by the pump beam, with the attenuation increasing monotonically with increasing pump power. Time-resolved measurements using the first experimental arrangement showed that the probe signal recovered its initial intensity on a time scale of 45-70 μs, a value comparable to the exciton lifetime in Si nanocrystals. These data are shown to be consistent with an induced absorption process such as confined carrier absorption. No evidence for optical gain was observed.

AbstractComposition spreads of La1-xSrxCoO3 (LSCO) were synthesized as thermo-electric transducer material by means of combinatorial material synthesis, and information on their thermal diffusivity throughout the specimens was obtained. Meanwhile, it is anticipated that the composition spreads of LSCO have a variety of characteristic properties of light absorption corresponding to their composition, namely their compositional variable, x. Hence, we used transient optical pump-and-probe techniques in a reflection geometry to measure thermal diffusion times on LSCO. The results of signal analysis indicate that LSCO is a peculiar synthesized substance whose apparent thermal diffusivity, 1/ι, changes abruptly at the critical point, where the compositional variable x is equal to 0.3.
