Abstract
We propose a scheme to enhance near-UV band absorption of a rutile nanoparticle by placing Au nanoparticles in its neighborhood. The discrete-dipole approximation method was employed to calculate the absorption spectrum of pure rutile and that of mixed with Au nanoparticles. The results indicate that pure rutile has its maximum absorption located in the deep-UV band. With the existence of Au nanoparticles, a significant light harvesting effect occurs, and this maximum shifts to the near-UV band, where usual excitation wavelength falls.
