Abstract

The results of studying optical properties of silver films deposited photochemically on a quartz surface are presented. The films consist of isolated silver particles of 5–50 nm in size and of agglomerates of several micrometers in size and contain up to 7 wt % of Ag2O. Treatment of the films with dimethylformamide solution of [Pden2](BPh4)2 results in a decrease in the average particle size due to dissolution of small particles (5–15 nm) and destruction of greater agglomerates.
