Noble Metal Nanostructures Influence of Structure and Environment on Their Optical Properties
Figure 17
Scanning electron microscopy images (a) of glass/Au, quartz/Au, and ITO/Au nanostructured interfaces formed through thermal deposition of gold film and short high-temperature annealing. Corresponding UV/Vis extinction spectra are shown below (b). The lines in the spectra represent Au nanostructures on glass (green), quartz (red), and ITO (blue) [66].
