Abstract.

The photothermal property of (Ag and Au) plasmonic nanoparticles has brought about many important discoveries and applications in nanoscience and nanotechnology. In this review, we briefly summarize a photothermal effect, the coherent phonon oscillation, of plasmonic nanoparticles irradiated with ultrafast laser pulses of low power density. The coherent phonon oscillation is created in the nanoparticle by the ultrafast impulsive photothermal heating. The effects of size, shape, thickness, and interparticle interaction on the period of coherent phonon oscillations are discussed. The detection of the coherent lattice oscillation of metallic nanoparticles provides a powerful tool to characterize the mechanical and structural properties of nanostructures.
