Abstract
Silver and indium nanoclusters have been incorporated into thin sputte red amorphous silicon films. The optical properties of these films hav e been investigated and compared with the results of spectra simulatio ns. The dependence of the metal cluster plasmon resonance position on the silicon film thickness has been established. Additionally, the inh omogeneous broadening of the plasmon line has been estimated. The data are discussed with respect to the results of transmission electron mi croscopy.
