The month of July was dedicated to work on the deposition of nanoparticles from the obtianed colloidal solutions, computer simulations and I starter preparing a doctoral thesis. At the end of the month were held weekly researcher visit at the Institute of Physics, Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw.
I was depositing 140 nm silver nanoparticles and measuring optical response and microstructure. The FDTD simulation enabled determination the influence of nanoparticles sizes distribution on optical behaviour. The 10% decrease in Si reflectivity was obtained.
