Abstract:A simple method for obtaining SiO2 : Ag : Si and Ag : Si hybrid nanostructures is presented. High-temperature treatment of an island film of Ag on the surface of c-Si makes it possible to preserve the plasmonic properties of Ag nanoparticles and protect them from external influences by coating them with a thermally grown layer of SiO2. The calculation of the electric field strength distribution in the structure with embedded Ag nanoparticles in c-Si demonstrates the presence of intrinsic “hot spots” at the cor… Show more
