Two distinct electrically percolated types of nanostructured silver (n-Ag) films on glass substrates have been optically and structurally studied and effective refractive indices determined. The first though well above the ...

Cap-shaped metal nanoparticles have optical spectra with significant absorption in the infrared. Such shapes, produced by physical vapor deposition onto a polymer particle template, can be readily separated from one another ...

Mesoporous gold sponge may be prepared by the removal of aluminium from AuAl2 by an alkaline leach. The resulting material has nanoscale pores and channels, with a high specific surface area that can be exploited ...

A method to produce nanoscale films of AuAlx and PtAlx, and their mesoporous elemental derivatives is described, and the morphology and optical properties of these coatings explored. The color of the AuAlx film is bright ...

In this paper we report on new techniques for making self-ordered porous layers of alumina of varying aspect ratios on glass, without the use of lithographic or masking techniques. Use of RF etching in one of the hole ...
