FIG. 1. — Dielectric properties of gold nanowires, the myocardium, and the breast cancer tissue. (a) Schematic of differential heating caused by RF irradiation of metallic prolate spheroids on the surface of the heart and in a tumor. (b) Tunable variables for relative absorption ratio calculations with gold prolate spheroids. (c) Negative real component of the dielectric function vs frequency for bulk gold and a gold nanowire with diameter $D =$ 75 nm and length $L =$ 25 μm. (d) Imaginary component of the dielectric function vs frequency for bulk gold and a gold nanowire with diameter $D =$ 75 nm and length $L =$ 25 μm. (e) Real component of the dielectric function vs frequency for myocardium and breast cancer tissues. (f) Imaginary component of the dielectric function vs frequency for myocardium and breast cancer tissues.
