We explore here the possible contribution of surface optical properties to the thermal properties of metallic nanofluids. During temperature ramping of a gold nanofluid model system, measured Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR) is found to correlate with Thermal Conductivity Enhancement (TCE) of the nan...
