An investigation of the optical characteristics of a layer of Ag nanoparticles deposited from an AgNO3 solution on the surface of single-crystal Si is presented. The measurements were carried out using spectroscopic ellipsometry and spectrophotometry at the same tilt angle and sample probe location in a wide spectral range from 200 to 1700 nm. From the obtained experimental data, the parameters of the Drude-Lorentz model and the complex dielectric function were determined, which was compared with the pseudo-dielectric function. Both dependences revealed resonances of a bulk plasmon near the energy E = 3.8 eV, while a localized plasmon was detected in the pseudo-dielectric function at E = 1.65 eV, and in the dielectric function at E = 1.84 eV. Keywords: dielectric function, Drude-Lorentz model, silver nanoparticles, plasmon, pseudo-dielectric function, spectrophotometry, ellipsometry
