Silver Sodalites Novel Optically Responsive Nanocomposites

Abstract

A range of novel silver sodalites have been synthesized. These solid state microstructures are viewed as packaged silver salts comprised of nanoassemblies of silver cations tetrahedrally organized with various charge balancing anions. A collection of physicochemical characterization techniques (UV-VIS reflectance/emission/excitation; luminescence lifetimes; FT-FAR/MID-IR; XPS; TGA-MS; 29 Si, 27 Al, 23 Na MAS-NMR; Rietveld XRD profile analysis) have been employed to interrogate the structure and properties of the parent silver sodalites, as well as the chemical and physical transformations of the encapsulated silver salts that relate to a number of interesting transducer effects. Intercavity communication between entrapped silver microaggregates and expanded-metal superlattice ideas will be considered briefly. The utilization of the silver sodalites in high resolution imaging/printing and high density write/ read/erase data storage applications are also considered.
