Area of Science:

Nanotechnology
Physical Chemistry
Fluid Dynamics

Background:

Metal nanoparticles exhibit surface plasmon resonance, generating significant heat under laser irradiation.
This localized heating in liquids can induce the nucleation of plasmonic bubbles.
Understanding the initial stages of bubble formation is crucial for harnessing their properties.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate the formation dynamics of giant vapor bubbles on gold nanoparticles.
To explore the influence of different binary liquid combinations on bubble nucleation.
To identify key parameters governing the time delay and volume of bubble formation.

Main Methods:

Utilizing gold nanoparticles as substrates for plasmonic heating.
Employing laser irradiation to induce surface plasmon resonance and localized heating.
Observing the nucleation and growth of giant vapor bubbles using an ultrahigh-speed camera.
Systematically varying binary liquid compositions to study their effects.

Main Results:

The time delay to bubble nucleation is directly correlated with the absolute concentration of dissolved gas in the liquid.
The volume of the nucleated bubble is primarily determined by the liquid's total vaporization energy (latent heat + energy to reach boiling point).
Distinct behaviors were observed across six different binary liquid combinations.

Conclusions:

Dissolved gas content and liquid vaporization energy are critical factors controlling giant plasmonic bubble nucleation.
These findings provide a basis for controlling bubble formation in nanoparticle-laser interactions.
The study has significant implications for applications leveraging plasmonic bubble dynamics.
