Abstract

A novel method of fabrication of silica-based sol-gel films and glasses containing small semiconductor particles was developed. A series of films and glasses with nanoparticles of copper chalcogenides (CuS, Cu2Se, CuInS2) and metal particles (Cu) were fabricated through the chemical transformation of precursors incorporated into a sol-gel derived matrix. The properties of the nanoparticles studied by means of XRD, XPS, TEM and optical spectroscopy are provided both by size effects and the chemical nature of surface states and can be controlled at different steps of chemical treatment.
