In recent times, glass has engrossed substantial attention. Researchers are exploring nanostructured glasses, such as glassy nanoparticles, nanofibers, and thin films, to discover novel properties and functionalities. These nanostructured glasses are promising materials for applications like photonics, sensing, and nanoelectronics. Their excellent optical, mechanical, and chemical properties make them valuable materials for advancing technology in the nanoscale regime. Here, the discussion grasps nano-metal doped glass nanocomposites (GNC). GNC exhibits intriguing optical properties, including surface plasmon resonance (SPR) from various nano-metals dispersed within the glass matrix. The SPR bands appear due to the interaction of the light, i.e., an electromagnetic wave with the nanometal, and resonance with the same frequency of surface electrons on the nanometal. The SPR also depends on the glass dielectric medium and can be tuned with the glass composition. Different nanometals show different SPR bands, but our study is focused on the visible SPR bands. |
