Chitosan-Capped Au Nanoparticles for Laser Photothermal Ablation Therapy: UV-Vis Characterization and Optothermal Performances

<div>Results of the decomposition of the experimental spectra versus the molar ratio <i>R</i> before and after the chitosan capping. (a) Wavelength of peak absorbances; (b) FWHM of the NIR- and green-tuned bands; (c) ratio between the maxima in the NIR band (<i>M</i><sub>NIR</sub>) and in the green band (<i>M</i><sub>Green</sub>). The straight lines are only a guide for the eye.</div>
