(Ag, Au)/Si nanocomposite films were deposited using the rf co-sputtering m
ethod. The absorption coefficient of Ag/Si nanocomposite film was calculate
d based on the Maxwell-Garnett theory and differential effective medium(DEM
) theory; the experimental results of spectra agreed with the DEM theory. A
nd the possible microstructure and the reason why the plasma resonance abso
rption peaks were broadened have been discussed.
