Abstract
Structural changes affecting nanoparticles embedded in an insulating matrix material are generally defined as changes in the size and shape distributions of the embedded particles. This includes changes in the inner and outer interfaces, or the chemical structure of the matrix material. The simplest way to bring about nanostructural change is thermal treatment of the films.
