In this work, we demonstrate the systematical fabrication of various configurations of Ag nanostructures on sapphire(0001) by controlling the Ag deposition thickness at different annealing environments in a plasma ion coater. In particular, the evolution of Ag particles(between 2 and 20 nm),irregular nanoclusters(between 30 and 60 nm), and nanocluster networks(between 80 and 200 nm) are found be depended on the thickness of Ag thin film. The results were systematically analyzed and explained based on the solid-state dewetting,surface diffusion, Volmer–Weber growth model, coalescence,and surface energy minimization mechanism. The growth behavior of Ag nanostructures is remarkably differentiated at higher annealing temperature(750 ℃) due to the sublimation and temperature-dependent characteristic of dewetting process.In addition, Raman and reflectance spectra analyses reveal that optical properties of Ag nanostructures depend on their morphology.展开更多
