摘要
Nanoparticles of noble metals exhibit localized surface plasmons (LSPs) associated with the enhancement of an electromagnetic field due to its localization in nanometric domains at the surface of nanoparticles. We demonstrate the plasmonic photoelectric conversion from visible to near-infrared wavelength without deteriorating photoelectric conversion by using electrodes in which gold nanorods are elaborately arrayed on the surface of a TiO2 single crystal.
