Abstract
The dynamics of the differential absorption spectra of spherical gold nanoparticles embedded in a TiO2 matrix and in water after the excitation of a plasmon resonance is studied by femtosecond laser spectroscopy. It is shown that spherical gold nanoparticles in a TiO2 matrix exhibit an anisotropic response, which is recorded in differential absorption spectra after their excitation by a femtosecond pulse into the plasmon resonance band of gold. The observed anisotropy of the signal is explained by the spherically nonsymmetrical distribution of the electron injected into the TiO2 matrix.
