Key Points

This research aims to explore the optical and thermoplasmonic properties of core-shell nanoparticles for photothermal therapy in prostate cancer.
Validated finite element method reproducing surface plasmon resonance peak positions of alloy nanospheres.
Evaluated optical and thermal properties of nanoparticles in water, human prostate tissue, and tumorous prostate tissue.
Systematically varied geometric ratios to optimize resonance for photothermal applications.
Continuous-wave irradiation in tumorous prostate tissue reached steady-state temperatures of 42°C-45°C, favorable for PTT.
Femtosecond-pulsed irradiation caused a rapid temperature rise in tumorous tissue, driven by optical absorption sensitivity.
Core-shell nanoparticle configuration maximized Joule heating efficiency and showed selectivity between human and tumorous tissues.

We only have this paper's title and publication details.
