Fig. 6.

Effect of thermal interfacial resistance between gold and medium on protein inactivation. (a) Schematic of the interfacial resistance between AuNS and medium. (b) Temperature profile for different Kapitza resistances at t = 9 ns. Insert figures shows the temperature profile of medium at 30 nm from the nanoparticle center. (c) Heat flux at the gold-medium interface for different Kapitza resistance. (d) Impact zone for different Kapitza resistances. The interfacial thermal conductance (g) is the reciprocal of Kapitza resistance.
