Size Effect on Optical Properties of Silicon Dioxide Hollow Particles

Abstract:

The optical properties of silicon dioxide hollow particles with different size were investigated in UV/visible/near-IR region, as well as X-ray photoelectron spectra were analyzed. Synthesis of SiO2 hollow particles was carried out using a template method. It was established that hollow particle reflectance lower than bulk microparticles. Absorptance in the red and near infrared spectral ranges increases with decreasing size of hollow particles, but in the UV-region conversely. This is due to different absorption centers.
