Raman spectra of GexAsySe1−x−y glasses

چکیده
Various Ge–As–Se glasses spanning a mean coordination number MCN from 2.2 to 2.94 have been investigated using differential scanning calorimetry and Raman spectroscopy. The glass transition temperature Tg was found to increase with increasing MCN, except for those glasses located within the nanoscale phase-separated region of the phase diagram. The evolution of Raman features at wavenumbers from 150 to 350 cm−1 exhibits two transitionlike features. Merging of the 225 and 250 cm−1 modes at MCN=2.5 is a symbol of the extinction of Se–Se bonds. Additionally, the appearance of two modes at 280–290 and 170 cm−1 at MCN 2.7 come from the defect modes of ethanelike Ge2Se6/2. The increase in the scattering from these defects is an important factor leading to enhanced optical loss in the glasses with high MCN. © 2009 American Institute of Physics. DOI: 10.1063/1.3204951

Structure and physical properties of GexAsySe1−x−y glasses with the same mean coordination number of 2.5
We have prepared and analyzed five different compositions of GexAsySe1−x−y glasses that have the same mean coordination number MCN of 2.5 in order to understand whether MCN or chemical composition has the dominant effect on the physical properties of the glass. Density measurements showed a maximum for the chemically stoichiometric Ge12.5As25Se62.5 sample and suggested that some rearrangement o...

We present a systematic study of Ge(x)As(y)Se(1-x-y) bulk chalcogenide glasses to determine the best composition for fabricating all-optical devices. The dependence of physical parameters such as the band-gap, glass transition temperature and third order optical nonlinearity (n(2)) on composition has been studied and a relation between the bond-structure and elevated linear loss levels in high ...

Observation of two elastic thresholds in GexAsySe1−x−y glasses
We have prepared GexAsySe1−x−y glasses with mean coordination numbers MCNs from 2.2 to 2.86. Tg was found to generally increase with increasing MCN while the glass density showed a maximum at MCN 2.45 and a minimum at MCN 2.65. The elastic moduli of the glasses were estimated from the shear and compressional wave velocities measured by ultrasonic pulse interferometry. For the first time we simu...

The effect of chemical composition on the Raman spectra of a series of natural calcalkaline silicate glasses has been quantified by performing electron microprobe analyses and obtaining Raman spectra on glassy filaments (~450 µm) derived from a magma mingling experiment. The results provide a robust compositionally-dependent database for the Raman spectra of natural silicate glasses along the c...
