Abstract
Thermo-plasmonics deals with the generation of nanoscale heating produced by light activated plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) such as gold and silver NPs. The combination of smart-responsive materials (e.g. thermotropic liquid crystals and thermo-responsive hydrogels) and highly photo-thermal efficient plasmonic (gold) NPs has been used for the realization of light assisted, reconfigurable, thermo-plasmonic driven Bragg mirrors, diffraction gratings, waveplates and smart windows.
