Abstract

Solid-liquid interface reaction technique (SLIRT) is used to deposit silver film on glass substrate. The solid film of silver nitrate is formed by modified spin coating method. This film is subsequently processed by dipping it in a reducing solution so as to initiate a reaction at the interface and ultimately transform it to totally silver film. In situ transformation of silver nitrate to silver is studied with respect to time spectrophotometrically. The characterization of silver film is done by various physicochemical techniques namely XRD, XPS, ED, TEM and UV visible spectroscopy. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
