One way to help gold nanorods retain their shape during
photothermal heating is to coat them with silica shells, which confine the nanorods to their original shape but allow light to pass through.

The gold - iron oxide core - shell nanorods may be useful in cancer therapy, with MRI imaging enabled by the iron oxide shell, and local
heating created by the
photothermal effect on the gold nanorod core killing cancer cells.

Very short (fs) single pulses improve the
photothermal efficacy by minimizing
heat loss by NPs, though at the same time they limit the efficacy of PT conversion, since maximal energy is limited by the optical breakdown threshold.
