Formation and characterization of high-density silver nanoparticles embedded in silica thin films by 'in situ' self-reduction
Silver nanoparticles (10-20 nm) embedded into silica thin films have been obtained through the use of a silver organometallic precursor compound dissolved in Spin-On-Glass and subsequently spinned onto suitable substrates In this paper we present a study of the shape, size, and distribution of silver particles through the use of microscopes, x-ray diffraction, and optical extinction It has been observed that the obtained films are stable for annealing up to 500 deg C with a progressive degradation above this temperature. Furthermore it is possible to obtain high-density silver particles up to 15 percent in weight without affecting the cluster size and shape.
