Figure 4 Harmonic oscillator model for the generation of coherent vibrationalmotion in metal nanoparticles <strong>by</strong> nuclear heating (left) or <strong>by</strong> hot electron pressure(right).(strictly, a 90j phase difference only applies for delta-function excitation ofthe electrons and the nuclei).The relative contributions of these two effects can be calculated throughthe thermal stresses from heating the electrons (j e ) or the lattice (j l ) [38,39]:r e ¼ 2 3 DE eðT e Þ ð4aÞr l ¼ c l DE l ðT l Þ ð4bÞwhere g l is the Gru¨neisen parameter for the lattice (g l = 2.7 for Au) and DE eand DE l are the increase in energy of the electrons and lattice, respectively,which depend on T e and T l , the electronic and lattice temperatures. The timedependence of T e and T l can be calculated <strong>by</strong> the ‘‘two-temperature’’ model.<strong>Copyright</strong> <strong>2004</strong> <strong>by</strong> <strong>Marcel</strong> <strong>Dekker</strong>, <strong>Inc</strong>. <strong>All</strong> <strong>Rights</strong> <strong>Reserved</strong>.
