Silver nanoparticles (10–20 nm) embedded into silica thin films have been obtained through the use of a silver organometallic precursor compound dissolved in Spin-On-Glass and subsequently spinned onto suitable substrates. In this paper we present a study of the shape, size, and distribution of silver particles through the use of microscopes, x-ray diffraction, and optical extinction. It has been observed that the obtained films are stable for annealing up to 500 °C with a progressive degradation above this temperature. Furthermore it is possible to obtain high-density silver particles up to 15% in weight without affecting the cluster size and shape.

ABSTRACTResults of a study of the luminescence of rare earth ions in crystalline thin films grown on reflective substrates will be presented. As an example, the luminescence of Sm2+:CaF2 films has been calculated as a function of the separation between the active layer and a silicon substrate. These calculations involve coupling the narrow resonance of the rare earth ions to the electromagnetic modes of the film. Results including the optimum thickness for enhanced luminescence will be presented. Experimental work on Sm2+:CaF2 films grown on Si by molecular beam epitaxy will also be discussed.

The influence of controlled humidity on the phase transformation of CTAB templated silica thin films is studied by time-resolved in situ GISAXS measurements. It is shown that during a short period of time the silica matrix is flexible enough to follow the morphologic changes of the cylindrical micelles into spherical ones. During this time water can be uptaken and outtaken from the film. The evolution of the lattice parameters upon cycling dry and humid air is presented and discussed.
