title: Enormous enhancement in photocurrent generation using electrochemically fabricated gold nanostructures.
abstract: A self-assembled monolayer of porphyrins fabricated on the surface of an electrochemically deposited gold nanostructure exhibits enormous enhancement of photocurrent due to porphyrin excitation, especially in the near-infrared region, where localized surface plasmon resonance was responsible.
