Abstract
This chapter details the results of a series of experiments on Nb-doped and reduced (undoped) rutile (110) TiO2 single crystals. The structure of the chapter is outlined below, followed by summaries of both the experimental aims and results.

Notes
- 1.
As outlined in the previous chapter, plasmonic photocurrent is taken to mean a photocurrent that may be attributed to the action of the plasmonic metal (gold) nanoparticles, but not to the substrate (TiO2) alone, i.e. photocurrent from photons of sub-band-gap energies.
