Abstract

To investigate formation and dynamics of Au nanoparticles in a silica-glass, Au2+ ions are implanted in silica matrix at elevated temperatures up to 600 °C. Optical absorption, Raman spectroscopy and electron microscopy results confirm athermal growth of the Au nanoparticles. Growth dynamics has strong dependence on ion fluences and target temperatures. For example, with the highest ion fluences and at the maximum target temperature, Au nanoparticles have coalesced to form nanorods of Au. Rutherford backscattering spectrometry reveals surprising results about narrowing of implanted profiles of Au atoms with increase of the ion fluences and target temperatures. Observed phenomena are explained in the light of radiation-enhanced diffusion of Au atoms in the ion-implanted silica-glass samples.
