Abstract

The layer of bismuth nanoclusters embedded in glass matrices and the surface layer of bismuth grains are obtained by thermal treatment in hydrogen atmosphere in Bi0.33Ge0.67O1.84 and Bi0.57Si0.43O1.72 glass. Structural changes undergoing in near-to-surface layers after the first steps of isothermal annealing are monitored by the use of a slow-positron beam.
