A Vibrational Analysis of Au Implanted Al2O3 Single Crystals: Ion and Thermal Annealing Effects
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 February 2011
Abstract
The implantation of Au into Al2O3 leads to disruption of the crystal order producing an amorphous layer. Annealing the implanted crystals at 1373 K restores the crystallinity and also imparts a purple color to the implanted layer which is attributed to a surface plasmon resulting from the formation of Au colloids.
