Abstract

Silver-exchanged silicate glass has been irradiated by 532-nm pulsed Nd:YAG laser in order to locally form metallic nanoparticles. The particular interest of this process is to locally control the silver nanoparticles (NPs) growth. Silver ions are exchanged with sodium ions near the glass surface after dumping of a silicate glass few minutes in silver and sodium nitrates molten salt. A low-energy density laser exposure (0.239 J/cm2) chosen at the ablation threshold allows to observe the kinetics of the silver NPs growth according to the increasing shots number. An on-line optical measurement is carried out after each shot to identify the most important steps during the irradiation process. According to this measurement, we have determined four steps highlighted by UV/Visible spectrophotometry and we have identified the influence of located surface plasmon resonance. Three combined material analysis methods were used to understand the glass/laser interaction mechanism: we outlined the material volume variations by profilometric method, the element distribution by scanning electron microscopy and finally the structural distribution of the irradiated region by a local infrared investigation. The trend for NPs formation revealed by the UV/Visible spectrophotometry is thus explained by the formation of a ring expelled from a central hole. We highlight that the on-line extinction measurement can be used to data process the NPs evolution.
