Popis: Ion implantation was used to locally modify the surface of silica glass to create periodic plasmonic microstructures with Cu nanoparticles. Nanoparticles were synthesized by Cu-ion irradiation of the silica glass at the ion energy of 40 keV, dose of 5×1016 ions/cm2 and current density of 5 μA/cm2. This procedure involves low-energy ion implantation into the glass through a mask placed at the surface. Formation of nanoparticles was observed by optical spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. The presented results clearly demonstrate how the low-energy ions can be used for the fabrication of photonic microstructures on dielectric surfaces in a single-step process. © 2012 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
