Introduction

Thermoplasmonics is an increasingly important technology in scientific research due to its ability to control temperature at the nanoscale (Baffou et al. in Nat Mater 19:946–958, 2020 [1]; Ruhoff et al. in Nano Lett 24(2), 2024 [2]; Liu et al. in Phys Rep 981:1–50, 2022 [3]; Santoro et al. in Chem Soc Rev 51:6087–6125, 2022 [4]). It operates based on the unique physics of plasmonic nanostructures interacting with light. It operates based on the unique physics of plasmonic nanostructures interacting with light. Plasmonic materials, often in the form of metallic nanoparticles, manifest localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPRs) arising from the collective electron oscillations in response to incoming electromagnetic waves (Maier in Plasmonics fundamentals and applications.
