Goal and objectives of the project	+ Review of the results of the research on visible light responsive TiO₂-based photocatalysts with the emphasis on the plasmon resonances. + Elaboration of basic methods for the development of the quantum theory of plasmon resonances. + Preliminary experimental research of the role of plasmon resonance in the nanocomposite Au:TiO₂.
Main results	-Theoretical results: Two journal articles and one Chapter in a monograph. - Applied results: The samples of Au:TiO₂ and the results of the characterizations of this nanocomposite.
Novelty and actuality and scientific meaningfulness of the results	- The functional integral technique was applied to the study of the plasmon resonance at the first time in this work. - The contents of two hundreds of recently published papers were summarized. - The success of the experiment on plasmon resonance in nanocomposite Au:TiO₂ stimulates further studies on this promising problem.
Research region	- Scientific papers in referred journals (list): + Visible light responsive titania-based nanostructures for photocatalytic, photovoltaic and photoelectrochemical applications (Van Hieu Nguyen and BichHa Nguyen, Adv. Nat. Sci.:Nanosci. Nanotechnol. 3 (2012) 023001) + Quantum dynamics of plasmons in nanomaterials (Van Hieu Nguyen and Bich Ha Nguyen, Adv. Nat. Sci.:Nanosci. Nanotechnol. 3 (2012) 035009) - Technological products (describe in details: technical characteristics, place): + Preliminary Au:TiO₂ samples exhibiting the plasmon resonance and plasmonic solar cells. - Other products (if applicable): + A Chapter in a monograph (Chapter 15: Non-Equilibrium Green Functions of Electrons in Single-Level Quantum Dots at Finite Temperature (Nguyen Bich Ha) in Fingerprints in the Optical and Transport Properties of Quantum Dots, InTech, ISBN: 978-953-51-0648-7, Available from: http://www.intechopen.com/books/fingerprints-in-theoptical-and-transport-properties-of-quantum-dots/non-equilibrium-green-functions-at-finite-temperature-ofelectron-in-single-level-quantum-dots
Recommendations	The project in the year 2013 will have following content: Nanotechnology for green energy and depolution. Similar projects would be approved for next years.
