Popis:	We study the photothermal conversion in plasmonic nanohelices, unveiling how helical nanostructures made from metals with a notable interband activity, such as cobalt (Co) and nickel (Ni), exhibit a remarkable temperature rise $\Delta$T up to $\approx$1000 K under illumination. Such outstanding $\Delta$T values exclusively occur at wavelengths close to their localised plasmon resonances ($\Delta$T is significantly lower off resonance), and therefore the photothermal conversion of these nanoparticles is spectrally selective. The exceptional and spectrally selective temperature rise is demonstrated at near infrared wavelengths, which prompts the use of Co and Ni helical nanoparticles in a wide range of photothermal applications including solar energy conversion, seawater desalination, catalysis, or nanomedicine.
