Technologically driven some glass materials are containing metal clusters have attracted quite attention both in cluster research and in possible futuristic applications of such nanoclusters for magnetic or optoelectronic purposes. In this regard, formation of bimetallic alloys and core–shell nanostructures inside a soda-lime glass were prepared by simple ion-exchange methods and further studied by the optical absorption (OA) properties. Further, we made an attempt for the first time the novel route for the synthesis of bimetallic nanoclusters, gold in various doses was directly implanted in a plain soda-lime glass as well as in a copper and silver ion-exchanged soda-lime glass using the tandem accelerator anticipating the core–shell or alloys phase between the metal species. Also, the post implanted gold (Au+) metal ions were investigated by Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS) analysis performed on the Cu and Ag ion-exchanged samples to confirm the presence of bimetallic clusters formed by ion-exchange during implantation.
