چکیده
In the present paper we have theoretically predicted the physical parameters viz. coordination number, constraints, molar volume, fraction of floppy modes, number of lone pair electrons, bond energy, cohesive energy, heat of atomization and mean bond energy for Ge20Te80-xBix (x = 0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25) glassy alloys. It has been found that average number of constraints, cohesive energy and mean bond energy increases whereas, all other parameters decrease with the increasing Bi content. The mean bond energy is calculated using the chemical bond approach of Tichy and Ticha and it was found to be proportional to the average

متن کاملCOMPACTNESS IN RELATION TO THE MEAN COORDINATION NUMBER IN GLASSY GexBi6S94-x
Chalcogenide glasses have recently attracted much interest due to mainly two reasons. The first stems from their interesting physical and optical properties and consequently of their potential technological applications. A recent review of all these potential applications appeared in the proceedings of the international workshop on amorphous and nanostructured chalcogenides [1]. These applicati...
متن کاملSingle-crystal growth and thermoelectric properties of Ge(Bi,Sb)4Te7.
The thermoelectric properties between 10 and 300 K and the growth of single crystals of n-type and p-type GeBi(4)Te(7), GeSb(4)Te(7) and Ge(Bi(1-x)Sb(x))(4)Te(7) solid solution are reported. Single crystals were grown by the modified Bridgman method, and p-type behavior was achieved by the substitution of Bi by Sb in GeBi(4)Te(7). The thermopower in the Ge(Bi(1-x)Sb(x))(4)Te(7) solid solution r...
متن کاملAtomistic origin of rapid crystallization of Agdoped GeSbTe alloys: A joint experimental and theoretical study
We have applied extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) analyses and ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations to study the structure of Ag-doped (up to 42%) Ge1Sb2Te4 alloys. The computer models are consistent with EXAFS experiments, and reveal that the Ge environment is significantly modified by Ag doping, whereas those of Sb and Te are barely affected (except for high Ag conce...
