Abstract

Nanometer-sized silver particles with diameters in the range 4.3 to 11.5 nm have been grown within a glass-ceramic containing BaTiO3 by just subjecting the former to an alkali/silver ion exchange reaction. A reduction treatment in hydrogen is, however, shown to be necessary for such growth in glass-ceramics having crystalline phases such as BaTiSiO5, Zn2SiO4, and Li4P2O7, respectively. The possible presence of Ti3+ ions in the BaTiO3 phase is believed to cause such a difference in the reduction behavior of these composites.
