Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="adom201300275-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Gold nanorods embedded in a cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC)</bold> enable control of both the "selective reflection" of the CLC and the "plasmonic resonance" of near infrared radiation, thus allowing realization of a bridging between photonics and plasmonics in these materials. These results open up the detection of nanoscale temperature variations, with possible future application in nanomedicine. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg3zmjm39g" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
