Photothermal Superheating of Water with Ion‐Implanted Silicon Nanowires

Elucidating the temperatures of particles trapped in laser tweezers is of great importance and impacts studies and applications in various areas of science and engineering. A unique method is demonstrated for extracting the local temperature of trapped ion-implanted silicon nanowires undergoing hot Brownian motion in superheated water, and their efficacy as agents for photothermal cancer therapy is investigated.
