Metal island films enhance absorption via surface plasmon resonance. Gradient silver nanoparticle coatings demonstrate superior absorption compared to uniform coatings, offering improved performance for absorbing layers.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Optics
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Metal island films exhibit surface plasmon resonance (SPR) leading to characteristic absorption peaks.
  • These films are utilized in absorbing coatings, often in conjunction with dielectric layers.
  • Multilayer absorbing coatings are crucial for various optical applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the effect of silver mass thickness gradient in metal island films on the absorption properties of multilayer coatings.
  • To compare the absorption performance of gradient coatings with non-gradient counterparts.
  • To explore the potential of electron beam evaporation for fabricating such nanostructured coatings.

Main Methods:

  • Deposition of multilayer absorbing coatings using electron beam evaporation.
