Elucidating the temperatures of particles trapped in laser tweezers is of great importance and impacts studies and applications in various areas of science and engineering. A unique method is demonstrated for extracting the local temperature of trapped ion-implanted silicon nanowires undergoing hot Brownian motion in superheated water, and their efficacy as agents for photothermal cancer therapy is investigated.
