Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Radiation-induced Nanobubbles
Radiation-induced nanobubbles have important applications in many emerging indus-tries such as optofluidics and biomedicine.However,their applications are severely constrained by the high bubble nucleation threshold and the challenging bubble generation on the surface of small-sized particles under continuous incident light irradiation.The results of the present work indicate that a regular-aggregated particle array can obviously facilitate the nucleation process of bubbles on their surfaces.Additionally,the results of molecular dynamics simulation show the localized enhanced electric field may further accelerate the bubble generation when the LSPR ef-fect is excited.This work provides a fresh perspective on the nucleation of nanoparticle surface bubbles as well as a theoretical direction for the use of small-sized particles in several growing domains.
