This work presents the results of research the electromagnetic radiation influence on the change in the geometric shape of spherical silver nanoparticles, obtained by method of photostimulated recovery of Ag ions from salt solution (AgNO3). Сrystalline sodium citrate (Na3C6H5O7) was used to recover Ag by anions of citrate acid. Due to adsorption on the surface of silver nanoparticles and creating electrostatic barrier that prevents aggregation of silver nanoparticles, sodium citrate was also used as a stabilizer.

Optical characteristics of nanocomposite materials have been modeled depends on materials of the nanoparticles and the matrix, the size and shape of nanoparticles. The optical constants of diamond-like carbon films doped with nanoparticles of silver are considered within the framework of the effective theory of Maxwell—Garnett.
