(a) Schematic illustration of temperature measurement system. (b) Temperature elevation rate as a function of power density for each GNR and GNP concentration; black: 0.0295 mg/mL, red: 0.0394 mg/mL, green: 0.0492 mg/mL, and blue: 0.0591 mg/mL for GNRs; black: 0.0125 mg/mL, red: 0.025 mg/mL, green: 0.05 mg/mL, and blue: 0.1 mg/mL for GNPs. (c) Photothermal transduction efficiencies of GNR and GNP solutions as a function of mass concentrations; black: GNPs, red: GNRs. Inserted numbers are slope values of each fitted graph.
