Copper nanoparticles have been grown in silica matrix by annealing of the sol-gel prepared porous matrix impregnated with the copper nitrate. The annealing has been performed in air, successively in air and hydrogen, and in hydrogen. An annealing in air results in copper oxide nanoparticles (Cu 2 O)

Investigations of laser interaction with metal (gold) nanoparticles is of a great interest for laser applications in nanotechnology, engineering, and medicine. The first problem of laser interaction is to determine the optical properties of metal nanoparticles, that determines following photophysica
The optical properties of silicon oxide (SiO x ) films, vacuum evaporated and thermally annealed in argon atmosphere at 700 Β°C and 1000 Β°C, have been studied by spectral ellipsometry and photoluminescence (PL) measurements. The thickness, complex refractive index values and composition of the films,
CdS quantum dot (QD) solar concentrators were prepared by a sol-gel spin coating method. Thin films were prepared at different annealing temperatures and characterized by X-ray diffraction and spectroscopic techniques. The effect of temperature on the optical properties of CdS QDs embedded in silica
