	abstract = {To test the influence of the surrounding medium on the relaxation dynamics of the plasmon band bleach recovery of gold nanoparticles after excitation with femtosecond laser pulses, we embedded 14.5 and 12.1 nm colloidal gold nanoparticles (synthesized electrochemically) in MgSO4 powder and investigated these samples by femtosecond diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. By measuring the relaxation dynamics over a wide range of excitation energies, we found that the fast decay component is slower by about a factor of 2 for the particles in the MgSO4 powder compared to those in solution while no significant change in the slow decay component is observed. In agreement with this observation, we found that adding solvent to the particles embedded in the powder caused a decrease in the relaxation time from about 10 ps to 5 ps for the fast decay component. This leads to the conclusion that the electron-phonon relaxation in these gold nanoparticles depends on the chemical nature and/or physical phase (solid vs solution) of the surrounding medium. A discussion of this in terms of the type of phonon involved, and the nature of the electron-phonon and phonon-phonon relaxation processes is discussed. To our knowledge, this also presents the first time that a transient bleach could be observed by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy.},

We found that changing the surrounding matrix from aqueous solution to hydrogel and then to organic gel leads to a large increase in the relaxation time of both the electron-phonon (e-ph) and the phonon-phonon (ph-ph) coupling. Furthermore, the ph-ph relaxation time becomes sensitive to the type of the organic solvent trapped in the gel network. This indicates that the relaxation dynamics depend on the thermal conductivity, chemical structure and the molecular dynamics of the surrounding medium. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science BN.

	abstract = {At the high laser excitation intensities used in our experiments, more than 50 electron-hole pairs are formed in colloidal semiconductor nanoparticles used in our studies. At this density of charge carriers, new transient absorptions are observed in the femtosecond transient spectra in the 450 to 700 nm region with unresolved fast rise (<100 fs) and two decay components of 660 fs and >150 ps. The absorption at 510 nm could be quenched with the adsorption of electron accepters (e.g., benzoquinone, 1,2-naphthoquinone), whereas the low-energy transient absorption was not affected. For CdS NPs, we found that passivation eliminated most of the transient absorption. The transient absorptions are thus proposed to result from either trap-state absorption, trapped dimers (or complexes) and/or Stark-shifted exciton absorption resulting from surface electric field of the uncompensated trapped electron-hole pairs. All these possibilities require effective surface trapping at these high levels of excitation.},

The pulse energies were below the gold nanorod melting threshold, but allowed early stage shape transformation processes, It is found that while the as-prepared nanorods are defect-free, laser-irradiation induces point and line defects. The defects are dominated by (multiple) twins and stacking faults (planar defects), which are the precursor that drives the nanorods to convert their {110} facets into the more stable {100} and {111} facets and hence minimize their surface energy. These observations suggest that short-laser pulsed photothermal melting begins with the creation of defects inside the nanorods followed by surface reconstruction and diffusion, in contrast with the thermal melting of the rods or the bulk material, where the melting starts at the surface.},

The absorption maximum is found to shift by 100?200 cm-1 by using the two excitation wavelengths; resulting from partial site selection due to the contribution of inhomogeneous broadening. The hole width produced by excitation near the zero-phonon band is found to be ?1250 cm-1, which corresponds to a homogeneous width of ?600 cm-1, and the low limit of dephasing time can be estimated as 20 fs.
