The present work describes the use of low energy ion beam induced defects in controllably producing metallic nanoclusters embedded in insulators. The present process avoids the annealing step normally required to form nanoparticles. Fused silica and BK7 glasses were implanted with 30 keV At+ ions to a dose of 5 x 10(16) ions/cm(2) before introducing Cu in the substrates (we shall refer it as pre-mixing implantation). Defects created by pre-mixing implantation are believed to form nano-size pockets available for nucleating the nanoparticles. Cu was introduced in the substrates by ion beam mixing using 30 keV At+ ions. The samples were characterized by UV-VIS absorption spectroscopy to obtain the signature of Cu nanoparticles. The surface plasmon resonance (SPR) peak appears between 590 and 636 nm depending on the process parameters. We have established a process, which gives a fine control over the size of nanoparticles using the premixing implantation dose and beam mixing dose. The size of nanoparticles decreases with an increase in pre-mixing implantation dose and with an increase in beam mixing dose mono-dispersed particles are formed. (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V.
