Abstract
We prepared gold-titania composite nanoparticles by the gas condensation me thod, and evaluated their physical and optical characteristics. The structu re of obtained particles mainly showed that the gold particles, whose diame ter ranged from 10 to 60 nm, were covered with spherical titania particles which were composite phases of anatase and rutile. The effect on the crysta l structure and shapes of titania was not clearly observed by compounding w ith gold.
