| Description | The embedding of metallic nanoparticles in the traditional optical materials (e.g. SiO2) gives us the possibility to create new optical materials. Metallic particles of nanometric dimensions can be transparent in wide spectral ranges of light. The incorporation of nanocrystal inclusions in such nanocomposites provides the benefit of targeted manipulations of their macroscopic optical response. In this paper we present the possibility to create, using vacuum deposition methods, the nanocomposite coatings with fairly small refractivity. |
