Investigations of alkaline Li2B4O7:Ag and alkaline-earth CaB4O7:Ag tetraborate glasses with Ag nanoparticles (Ag NPs) formed by thermal treatment in vacuum have been performed. It is ascertained that in volumes of the both glasses a small number of Ag NPs is formed, whereas their main mass is concentrated near the samples surface. It is obtained from the plasmon resonance results that, under the same annealing conditions, concentration of the Ag NPs in the near-surface layer of CaB4O7:Ag glass is appreciably smaller than in the near-surface layer of Li2B4O7:Ag glass. This peculiarity is explained by difference between contributions of alkaline Li+ and alkaline-earth Ca2+ ions to processes of the Ag NPs formation in respective tetraborate glass.
