Glasses, in their different forms and compositions, have special properties that are not found
in other materials. The combination of transparency and hardness at room temperature …

Nanoscale silver clusters and metal Ag nanoparticles embedded in fluorophosphate glass
were produced by Na/Ag ion exchange and subsequent heat treatment. The studied ion …

Ion-exchange in molten nitrate salts containing metal ions (ie silver, copper, etc.) represents
a well-established technique able to modify the chemical-physical properties of glass …

The paper is dedicated to the recently developed by the authors technique of silver
nanoisland growth, allowing self-arrangement of 2D-patterns of nanoislands. The technique …

Glass is important as a substrate for coatings in a wide range of applications or as a
substrate for the fabrication of optical micro/nano structures. Coating by wet chemistry …

A study of Raman scattering enhancement by single hemispheroidal silver nanoislands
grown on a glass surface via out-diffusion technique combined with thermal poling of the …

We reveal the impact of wavelength and energy of a nanosecond laser irradiation on the
formation of silver nanoparticles in soda-lime glass enriched with silver ions. Optical …

An ensemble of hemiellipsoidally shaped silver nanoislands was grown on a soda-lime
glass substrate using the combination of ion exchange, thermal poling, and out-diffusion …

We characterized changes in the composition of subsurface layer of silver ion-exchanged
soda-lime glass during annealing in hydrogen atmosphere. The formation of tens of …

Self-organized metal nanostructures have been obtained by an original method on the
surface of soda–lime glasses. The nanostructures are grown by heat treatment of poled …
