Annotation

The optical properties of surface  «metal-insulator (semiconductor)»  composites fabricated by deposition of plasmon-active gold nanoparticles onto a modified rough surface of silicon or into a porous SiO2  layer on the Si surface are investigated. Microscopic studies detected features of the topology of the distribution of Au nanoparticles depending on the type of surface and the parameters of thermal annealing. Excitations of surface plasmons are found and the possibility of controllable changing the optical parameters of composites during the deposition of Au nanoparticles into a porous matrix and additional thermal annealing by the methods of reflection spectroscopy and spectroscopic ellipsometry are shown. The analyses of optical and structural parameters of composites in the framework of the Bruggeman effective medium approximation as well as optical models of such heterostructures are considered.
