Abstract
Photoacoustic signal can be significantly enhanced by improving the optical absorption, photothermal conversion efficiency, and thermoelastic expansion of an absorbing nanoprobe. Gold nanorods have low photothermal stability leading to spherical deformation and blue-shifting under high fluence lasers. Our work shows enhanced PA signal and high photothermal stability of metal chalcogenide-coated gold nanorods treated with ferricyanide. Preliminary data suggests up to 28 – 48X increase in PA amplitude and over 10X increase in photothermal stability compared to uncoated nanorods.
