The goal for our lab activity was to make a silver mirror by reducing silver ions with dextrose. The materials that we used were acetone‚ 5 mL of 1.5 M ammonium nitrate solution (NH4NO3)‚ 5 mL of 0.5 silver nitrate solution (AgNO3)‚ 10 mL of 5% dextrose solution (C6H12O6)‚ 10mL of 10% sodium hydroxide solution (NaOH)‚ a 50 mL beaker‚ a 250 mL Florence flask with a rubber stopper‚ a 10 mL graduated cylinder‚ a waste beaker‚ and distilled water.

Result In the experiment‚ Silver nanoparticles is used as it has low absorption losses‚ compared to other metals. The formation of silver nanoparticles is done by depositing of various mass thickness of uniform layer of silver at the rate approximately 2 Å/ s at 1x10−5 Torr. After this‚ the sample were annealed in nitrogen for 50 min at 200 °C. The particle coalesce together to formed island due to surface tension. In this experiment‚ four samples were used‚ a) 1.25 µm SOI Test Cells – The thickness
