title: Photo-induced voltage in nano-porous gold thin film.
abstract: We report an experimental study of generation of photo-induced voltage in nano-porous gold (NPG) thin film under the radiation of obliquely incident nanosecond laser light in visible regions. For s- polarized light, negative voltage is observed along the incident plane for positive incident angles, while for p- polarized light, positive voltage is observed for wavelength longer than 510 nm, while it turns to negative for shorter wavelengths. The transverse voltage for various polarized light is explained in terms of symmetry of configuration and that of microscopically random but macroscopically isotropic NPG.
