Abstract:
The authors report on the optical absorption spectra of Au atoms and dimers deposited on amorphous SiO2 in size-selected fashion. Exptl. spectra were obtained by cavity ringdown spectroscopy. Issues on soft-landing, fragmentation, and thermal diffusion are discussed from the exptl. results. In parallel, cluster and periodic supercell d. functional theory (DFT) calcns. were performed to model atoms and dimers trapped on various defect sites of amorphous SiO2. Optically allowed electronic transiti...     »
