Illuminated plasmonic nanoparticles (NPs) absorb light and produce heat, energeticcharge carriers, and intense electromagnetic fields - These effects are potentially useful for applications like photothermal therapy, plasmon-assisted catalysis and energy harvesting/conversion [1]- Disentangling these effects is not easy. However, we can measure NP's temperature to understand the role it's playing in our application
