Abstract. We report the spectrophotometric studies of two-layer granular films of aluminium and silver disjoint by ZnS layers. This multilayered system is prepared with two-stage deposition of Al and Ag separated by a thin ZnS film. Dipole–dipole interactions between the optical thin films in the multilayer sandwich are studied and optical absorption bands are identified at different stages of deposition procedure. The plasma frequency of aluminium is determined from the position of maximum of the high-frequency band, which is peculiar to the two-layer sample based on the granular aluminium film enclosed between the ZnS layers.

Keywords: Al–Ag nanoparticles, dipole–dipole interactions, nanostructures, absorption bands, optical films, coupled oscillators

Анотація.Описано спектрофотометричні дослідження двошарових гранульованих плівок алюмінію і срібла, розділених шарами ZnS. Таку багатошарову систему приготовлено шляхом двостадійного висадження Al і Ag, розділених тонкою плівкою ZnS. Досліджено диполь–дипольні взаємодії між оптичними тонкими плівками в багатошаровому сендвічі та визначено оптичні смуги поглинання на різних етапах процедури осадження. Виходячи з позиції максимуму високочастотної смуги для двошарового зразка на основі гранульованої алюмінієвої плівки, укладеної поміж шарами ZnS, встановлено плазменну частоту алюмінію.
