Abstract
In the previous section we have investigated the influence of laser irradiation parameters on the nanoparticles’ shape transformation; now we focus on the effects of temperature during the reshaping processes. As discussed in Chap. 3, upon absorbing the energy of the laser pulse, the NP and its surrounding matrix experience a strong temperature increase of several hundred degrees for a time window of some ten picoseconds to a few nanoseconds. The pertinent softening of the adjacent glass matrix is crucial for the NP to have some degrees of freedom for the expansion and shape changes.
