Abstract

The Ag colloidal centers in additively colored KCl: Ag crystals have been studied by optical and electron microscope methods. The transmission electron microscope studies reveal that the colloidal particles are spherical in shape and have a size distribution which can be described by the skewed zeroth order logarithmic distribution (ZOLD) function. The band shape of the experimental absorption spectra of colloidal particles agrees well with that calculated on the basis of Mie theory, if the optical constants are suitably modified and if the particle size distribution is taken into account. If the particle size is so small that the size distribution cannot be measured by electron microscope the optical absorption bands can be used to determine the size distribution parameters provided the distribution is well described by ZOLD, which in turn is used to calculate theoretical extinction bands.
