Figure 4: Thermal behaviour of water on irradiation.
From: Spatial control of chemical processes on nanostructures through nano-localized water heating

(a) Simulated spatially resolved temperature dynamics after pulse (8 ns) laser irradiation. (b) Average temperature of water (10 nm<Z<70 nm) and (c) metal (Z<0 nm) in the arm and centre regions. The values Dt are the thermal diffusivity of water and Au.
