Photothermal therapy through Gold Nanorods (GNRs) is a new approach for the minimally invasive treatment of cancerous tissue. In order to design the proper settings, it is important to study the thermal effect that are induced close to the nanoparticle (nanoscale model), in the close ... Read More
The silicon is mainly known under its single-crystal shape and polycrystalline. Since a few decades, a new type of morphology is developed: the porous silicon (p-Si). Meso-porous silicon (Mp-Si) is one of promising materials for future microelectronic chips multi-functionalization ... Read More
We report the use of Heat transfer Module of COMSOL Multiphysics and a technique based on Infrared Photothermal Radiometry to study the heat transfer of a homogeneous and isotropic solid material excited by a periodic laser beam on the front side of the sample, and one infrared detector ...

We present a numerical model using the Finite Element Method (FEM) with COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation software to characterize Beer-Lambert law. The Heat Transfer Module was used in the program developed to calculate absorption and propagation of heat wave phenomena in a material. ... Read More
The main drawbacks of the desalination technologies are the high energy requirement and the environmental issue related to both the brine discharge and the energy sources exploited. Thus, passive desalination is considered the most suitable expedient to address these issues and to ... Read More
The importance of laser processing and thermal properties investigation of bulk materials and thin layers is still increasing. For thermal properties investigation many experimental systems were developed based on the photothermal effect. One of typical ways is to induce a rapid surface ... Read More
In this work, theoretical and numerical models solved by COMSOL Multiphysics® for the heat diffusion in homogenous solids, suitable to be used in the infrared photothermal radiometry technique, are presented. The theoretical calculations and the numerical simulations were obtained by ... Read More
Dr. Naomi Halas is currently Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Chemistry, and Bioengineering at Rice University. She is the inventor of nanoshells, nanoparticles with optical resonances spanning the visible and infrared regions of the spectrum. She is co-founder of a ... Read More
Temperature measurement of nanoparticles (NPs) under heating is an important technique in order to achieve potential applications such as photothermal cancer therapy and nanofabrication. We implemented the method to estimate the local temperature of a laser-heated gold NP on glass ... Read More
A two dimensional instationary analysis of the conjugate optical-thermal fields induced in a multilayer thin film structure on a glass substrate by a moving Gaussian laser source is carried out numerically in order to compare back and front laser treatment processes.
