The Gold Nanorods: A Miracle Of Nanotechnology
The science has developed various technologies that can help the mankind in different ways and provide a better life. It has also developed technologies to save human body from a number of diseases and same way it is now entering a new age of technologies where more of such miracles can be possible with this new technology.
This new technology is known as nanotechnology and the foundation of nanotechnology is the small, minute particles that are known as atoms. The unity of these atoms can provide surprising results in different ways. Hence, the nanotechnology provides the result with the collective efforts of these tiny cells.
The properties and Methods of Gold Nanorods
This nanorod is much known in the area of the technology as a whole and there are a number of uses of the same for variousNano products. The Gold Nanorods have the capacity to generate the heat on irradiation as it has higher surface Plasmon resonance band that is of the similar level of an infra-red. This makes it capable to generate heat with the help of an NIR laser. Due to this feature, these rods are potential to be used in a number of areas such as a thermal agent for therapies to cells of viruses, bacteria’s, cancer and DNA.
These rods are with an efficiency ratio of around 5 when the same is prepared as per the molecularroot of hexagon system. The size of these rods were about 980 NM and the shape was about 520 nmas per the surface Plasmon band and by the microscopic atomic force as well as the microscopic electron transmission.
The utility of the Gold nanorods
There are a number of uses of these rods are known to the nanotechnology. However, some of such uses are still in the primary stage while many of them started showing their accurate results also. The Gold Nanorods are of 100 nm in length with 20 nm as the diameter. As per the X-ray diffraction analysis these nanorods are produced when they were metallic. They also demonstrated a quality photothermolysis activity. These rods can be highly effective in killing the cells that create tumours.
