Abstract
The silica glasses with copper selenide nanoparticles were fabricated by th e sol-gel technique. The samples were characterized with transmission elect ron microscopy, Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy and optical absorpti on. The composition of nanoparticles is close to Cu2Se stoichiometry and ca n be varied under tuning of the preparation steps. These glasses exhibit th e new features in visible and IR ranges.
