description Silver and gallium form an alloy Ag2Ga via a room temperature spontaneous self-assembly that exhibits remarkable mechanical and electrical properties suitable for nanoscale measurements. However, whether photon excitation of plasmons in this emerging nanomaterial is retained or not has not been established. Here, we present a thin film formation of Ag2Ga via a spreading-reactive process of liquid Ga on an Ag film and a characterization of its dielectric function ϵ(E) = ϵ1(E) + iϵ2(E) in the photon energy range 1.42 eV ≤ E
