Effects of argon ion irradiation on nucleation and growth of silver nanoparticles in a soda-glass matrix
The present article explores an experimental study for nucleation and non-equilibrium growth of silver nanoparticles in a soda-glass matrix. Ion-irradiation induced recoiling of silver atoms with argon ions (at energy 100 keV) facilitates nucleation as well as growth of the silver nanoparticles in t...
