Optical Properties of Granular Silver and Gold Films
Abstract
Optical, electrical, and electron-microscopy studies on granular Ag-Si${\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ and Au-Si${\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ films, prepared by cosputtering the metal and the insulator, were made over the composition range 10-90% by volume Si${\mathrm{O}}_{2}$. Electron diffraction patterns indicate crystalline metals with lattice constants equal to those of the bulk metals. For films with less than 50-vol% Si${\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ the structure consists of amorphous Si${\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ inclusions in a continuous metal matrix; for films with more than 50-vol% Si${\mathrm{O}}_{2}$, separate metallic particles are dispersed in an amorphous Si${\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ continuum. Near the 50-vol% Si${\mathrm{O}}_{2}$ composition the electrical resistivity increases abruptly and the infrared transmission changes from metal-like to insulatorlike behavior. The absorption and transmission peaks in the visible, observed both in the continuous-metal as well as in the continuous-insulator regimes, are explained by a generalized Maxwell-Garnett theory. It is concluded that metal particles as small as 20 \AA{} have optical constants that do not differ significantly from those of the bulk metals.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
