Abstract:Ag films obtained by RF magnetron sputtering are X-ray amorphous. They yield pseudospherical nanoparticles of γ-Agl upon iodization as seen by SEM. The disorder induced by the sputtering process apparently favours controlled growth of γ-Agl nanoparticles as seen by sharp and characteristic excitonic features. The kinetics of AgI formation from disordered Ag is being explored.
