Abstract
Sequential ion implantation (copper and nickel) in silica and soda-lime gla sses has been performed. The formation of copper-nickel alloy nanocluster i n the glass host has been evidenced by synchrotron radiation-based techniqu es, namely X-ray diffraction and absorption spectroscopy. The nanocrystals' lattice parameter value was estimated, indicating the formation of CU55Ni4 5 alloy particles. Optical absorption spectra are also discussed.
