Abstract (AI)
Metal-containing bacteria as precursors for thin films is the concept behind the production of these ceramic–metal composites (cermets) that consist of an organic carbon matrix with embedded crystalline metallic silver particles of various morphologies and sizes (see Figure). It is demonstrated that the optical properties of the films can be tailored by adjustment of temperature and metal volume fraction.
Key Findings
1
Film optical properties can be tailored by adjusting the processing temperature and metallic silver volume fraction.
2
Metal-containing bacteria serve as biological precursors for producing silver–carbon ceramic–metal composite thin films.
3
The films consist of an organic carbon matrix containing embedded crystalline metallic silver particles with varied morphologies and sizes.
Research Object
biologically produced silver–carbon composite thin-film coatings
Research Subject
the tunability of the films’ optical properties through temperature and metallic silver volume fraction, in relation to the morphology and size of embedded crystalline silver particles
