Glasses, in their different forms and compositions, have special properties that are not found
in other materials. The combination of transparency and hardness at room temperature …

We fabricated silver nanoisland films and patterned silver nanoisland films using out-
diffusion of silver from glass in the course of the ion-exchanged glass substrate annealing in …

In the present study, green synthesis of densely dispersed and stable silver nanoparticles
(Ag NPs) using myrrh extract as green-reducing and stabilizing agent was investigated. The …

We have developed a Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) active substrate based
on silver nanoparticles grown by ultraviolet continuous wave laser irradiation of a silver …

There is increasing attention directed to mineral nanoparticle for intensive applications in
various fields of science, such as medicine, chemistry, agriculture, and biotechnology. There …

We report the fabrication and properties of ion-exchanged optical waveguides based on low-
cost soda-lime glasses embedded with silver ions and nanoparticles. Using the thermal ion …

The paper is dedicated to the recently developed by the authors technique of silver
nanoisland growth, allowing self-arrangement of 2D-patterns of nanoislands. The technique …

Recently, surface modified functional glasses have been the focus of attention for
researchers. Among the other surface modification methods, ion-exchange process has …

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is well-known to present, among other properties, a good antibacterial
activity which could be enhanced by the addition of Ag. The efficiency of ZnO-Ag films is …

In this paper, the research about the formation and growth of nano-and micro-particles of
silver from a silver-modified natural zeolite (Ag-zeolite) by pulsed dielectric barrier …
