Abstract
Composite materials formed by nanometre-sized Ag or Cu clusters in glass are studied by optical absorption spectroscopy. The technique is applied to composites prepared by recently developed new methodologies, showing peculiar spectral features depending on the preparation route. Tests of optical absorption theoretical models are presentedKeywords
