摘要
A reduction in second-harmonic generation (SHG) efficiency at silver islands films is observed when such submicroscopic structures are tempered at approx. 410 K. This behavior can be attributed to two facts: an increase in symmetry in film morphology and changes in the particles' electron plasma resonances causing field enhancements inside the particles. The observed correspondence between submicroscopic surface morphology and obtained second-harmonic signal suggests a SHG microscope for the maplike distinguishing between differently structured surface areas.
