The Characterisation of Silicate Glasses Implanted with Ag+ Ions
Result description
Silica-based glasses containing silver nanoparticles have been shown to be promising materials in photonic applications. Various silica-based glasses were implanted with 1.7 MeV Ag+ ions with fluences of 1x1016 cm-2 and annealed at 600 °C for 5 hours. The concentration depth profiles were characterised using Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The measured concentration depth profiles of the implanted Ag atoms were compared with the theoretically predicted implantation profiles simulated by SRIM-2008. The optical properties of the prepared nanostructures were examined by UV-VIS spectroscopy. It was found that the composition and structure of the glass has an influence on the penetration of the implanted ions during the implantation and post-implantation annealing, on the oxidation state of silver present in the glass matrix and on the resulting optical properties.
