Abstract
Fabrication of oxide nanoparticles (NPs) in transparent insulators by metal ion implantation and subsequent thermal oxidation (II&TO) is reviewed. After a short historical review of the II&TO method, fundamental issues concerning two important processes in the II&TO method, i.e., (i) formation of metal NPs by ion implantation and (ii) thermal oxidation of the metal NPs, are described. Then the highlights of this chapter, i.e., the formation of oxide NPs by the II&TO method, are reviewed. Oxide NP systems of NiO, CuO, and ZnO have been formed by the conventional II&TO method, i.e., the II&TO method using atmospheric pressure of oxygen gas. Each of the NP system shows different characteristics. While NiO, CuO (and Cu2O) NP systems show the oxide formation with little redistribution of the depth profiles, i.e., the oxide NPs are retained inside the SiO2 substrate, ZnO NPs are formed on the surface of the SiO2 substrate after prominent depth redistribution. Furthermore, recent developments in the II&TO method, i.e., the second generation of the II&TO method, are shown. ZnO NPs embedded in SiO2 substrate are formed by low temperature and long-term oxidation. Cu2O NPs, which are not most stable under atmospheric pressure of oxygen, are formed by two-step annealing. Consequently, selective formation of CuO and Cu2O NPs is possible using the conventional II&TO and the two-step II&TO method, respectively. Finally, some remaining aspects of the oxide NP formation by the II&TO method are discussed.
