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