Tosten2, David T. Hobbs2 1Savannah River Consulting, L.L.C., 2Savannah River National Laboratory The surfactant mediated sol-gel synthesis of nanosized monosodium titanate is described, along with preparation of the corresponding peroxide modified material. An ion-exchange reaction with Au(III) is also presented. Engineering Multifunctional Hybrid Fe2O3-Au Nanoparticles for Efficient Plasmonic Heating Simona E. Hunyadi Murph1, George K. Larsen1, Robert J. Lascola2 1National Security Directorate, Savannah River National Laboratory, 2Analytical Development Directorate, Savannah River National Laboratory We describe the synthesis and properties of multifunctional Fe2O3-Au nanoparticles produced by a wet chemical approach and investigate their photothermal properties using laser irradiation. The composite Fe2O3-Au nanoparticles retain the properties of both materials, creating a multifunctional structure with excellent magnetic and plasmonic properties.
