Popis: In this work we present a novel route to cover large surfaces with metal and oxide nanoparticles (NPs) by growing and annealing of metallic bilayers. We have used this method to fabricate ensembles of Au and α-Fe 2 O 3 NPs on silica substrates from Fe/Au bilayers. The morphology of the hybrid nanostructures and the presence of defects and disorder can be tuned through the processing parameters as the initial film thickness and the annealing conditions. The proximity effects between both types of NPs alter their physical properties. In particular, we observe that the presence of α-Fe 2 O 3 NPs modifies the surface plasmon resonance of Au NPs.
