Open AccessUltraviolet and Infrared luminescent Au-rich nanostructure growth in SiO2 by burrowing and inverse Oswald ripening process
We study the evolution of nanoparticle morphology through successive stages when Au-Si bilayer on SiO2 is irradiated with 500 keV Xe-ions and resulting luminescence in the UV, Visible and infrared range. An array...
