An enhancing factor: the enhancement of the electric properties of a dye molecule (IR26) by indium-tin oxide nanoparticles (ITO NPs, see picture) has been shown by measuring the near-infrared two-photon-excited transient absorption spectra. The dye molecule was excited much more efficiently in the presence of an ITO NP layer.
