Talk:Photothermal therapy

Ref
Could we get a reference to an article or a paper on this, so we can figure out what's specifically being presented in this article? WhatamIdoing (talk) 06:43, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Incorrect information
The recent study section is a garbled and incorrect version of the first few hits in Google for this topic. Usually gold nanoparticles are used for photothermal therapy, not silicon. Silicon is a poor absorber of light due to its indirect bandgap and so is unsuitable for photothermal therapy. I think the author was confused by the use of the word 'silica' in the linked article. Sometimes nanoparticles comprised of a silica core and a gold shell are used -but silica is silicon dioxide (think sand), not silicon. Also Cathy Murphy was not the first to synthesize gold nanorods (far from it!), but she is commercializing a CTAB-free synthesise process. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.78.66.70 (talk) 13:50, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
