Study of Cu+, Ag+ and Au+ ion implantation into silicate glasses

The Effect of Various Silicate-Glass Matrixes on Gold-Nanoparticle Formation

“…This fact is connected to possible non-homogeneity of the glass and/or ion modified structure of the glass matrix that can influence the penetration depth in real samples. A similar, but not so significant, effect has also been observed in glasses implanted with Ag + ions [21,27].…”

“…Here, we are going to build on our previous work [21], where we found that the penetration of the implanted ions is influenced by the structure of particular glass. Four representative types of glass have been selected.…”

Saturable absorption of silver nanoparticles in glass for femtosecond laser pulses at 400 nm

“…The glass substrates were doped with Ag at 320°C by a 50-minute Ag + ↔ Na + ion exchange in molten salt baths of eutectic melt of NaNO 3 and KNO 3 containing 14 mol% of AgNO 3 . Then, one piece of BK7 containing Ag ions (asexchanged sample) was annealed in air for 1 h at 600°C in order to prepare the as-annealed sample (according to [25]). …”

The Preparation and Characterization of Copper-Containing Thin Films Prepared by the Sol-Gel Method on Various Glasses

“…In this paper, we have developed this approach further and tested it on other types of silicate glasses. Besides microscope glass, we have chosen glasses BK7 and GIL49, which were previously used for the creation of optical layers by ion exchange [5,11] or ion implantation [12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Thin films were deposited on these three substrates by the same approach as that used in [10], with the exception of using exclusively PEG-400 or Triton X-100 as surfactants as these had been proven to have the best effect on the adhesion of the layers to the substrates.…”
