Abstract

We studied the effects of the low energy ions to induce nucleation of nanoscale crystals on and near surface of silica nano-layer containing low concentrations of Au. Suprasil substrates were coated with thin layer of gold followed by low-energy ion irradiation in a glow discharge plasma. The formation of nanoscale crystals due to low energy ion irradiation were then studied using RBS and optical absorption spectrometry.
