Abstract

This work is focused on nanoscale gold particle formation by low-energy ion irradiation in glow-discharge plasma and studying particle growth by increasing time of exposure.

SiO2+Au films on SiO2 substrates produced by ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD) were exposed to ion irradiation at 1.2 keV energy for 1-2 hours. Plasmon resonance appearance caused by nanoparticle formation was observed by Optical Absorption Spectrometry (OAS).
