Abstract—The extinction spectra of Zn nanoparticles, which were formed by the method of magnetron sputtering on molten quartz, KU-2 grade quartz glass, and sapphire substrates are obtained. The plasmon resonance locations are compared with the published data. A model of the formation of plasmon resonances of Zn nanoparticles is proposed.
