Optical properties of LiNbO3 implanted with Ag+ ions

  • 1. Yamanashi Univ., Kofu (Japan). Faculty of Engineering

Description

Ag+ ions were implanted into LiNbO3 held at room temperatures with the energy of 25 keV in the range of 2x1015 to 8x1016 ions/cm2. Absorption in the visible range was measured. LiNbO3 implanted with Ag+ ions shows brilliant reddish-violet and a large absorption peak at about 520 nm. Ag atoms aggregate during implantation and form very small flat particles of the size of about 0.3 to a few micrometers in surface layers of depths up to 16 nm. (author)
