چکیده
The structure of GexAs10Se90-x (x=10, 17.5, 22.5, 27.5, 30, 35) glasses as well as some other compositions extensively used in infrared optics, e.g. GASIR® (Ge22As20Se58) and AMTIR-1 (Ge33As12Se55) has been investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) measurements at the Ge, As and Se K-edges. Structural models have been obtained by fitting simultaneously XRD and EXAFS data by the reverse Monte Carlo simulation technique. Unlike other IV-V-VI glasses (e.g. Ge-As-S, Ge-Sb-Te, Ge-Sb-Se, Ge-As-Te) Ge-As-Se glasses are characterized by the lack of preferential bonding and behave as random covalent networks: Ge-Ge, Ge-As or As-As bonds can be found in Serich compositions while Se-Se bonding remains in strongly Se-deficient glasses as well. PACS numbers: 61.43.Dq, 61.05.cj, 61.05.cp, 61.05.fm

Microstructure, mechanical and thermal properties of chalcogenide glasses and glass-ceramics based on Se-As-Ge system nucleated by Sn
In particular, chalcogenide glasses and glass-ceramics are new materials that exhibit good transparency in infrared region (0.8-12µm). We can overcome the main weakness of these glasses by improving the hardness through controlling crystallization. In this paper, we report results of a study on chalcogenide glasses in the ternary system of As-Se-Ge with nominal composition of Snx (Se...

The structural and optical characterization of Se-Ge alloys during melt quenching technique was the goal of this study. In this regards, five different samples of Se100-xGex (x= 10, 20, 30, 40, 50) were prepared by conventional melt quenching in quartz ampoule. The produced samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), differential scanning calori...
متن کاملMedium-range order and cohesive energy in Ge x Se 1-x glasses
2014 The study of the electronic structure of GexSe1-x glasses (x ~ 0.33 ) is presented using the tight-binding approximation with a self-consistent Hartree model. The results indicate that the leading term in cohesive energy, when the possible structures of a glass with a given composition are compared, is due to the transfer of electronic charges from Ge atoms to Se atoms. Excluding Ge-Ge bon...
متن کاملFabrication and Investigation of Se-Ge Glass-Ceramics in the Presence of Ga and Sn Additives
The Chalcogenide glasses were fabricated by melting and quenching techniques in the Se-Ge system at the presence of 1mol% Ga and 3, 5, and 7mol% Sn. Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) analysis was conducted to extract the heat treatment of the samples. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analysis was also performed in a range of 2-16µm. The Glass samples were heat-treated at 450...
متن کاملCrystallization Kinetics of Chalcogenide Glasses
Chalcogenide glasses are disordered non crystalline materials which have pronounced tendency their atoms to link together to form link chain. Chalcogenide glasses can be obtained by mixing the chalcogen elements, viz, S, Se and Te with elements of the periodic table such as Ga, In, Si, Ge, Sn, As, Sb and Bi, Ag, Cd, Zn etc. In these glasses, short-range inter-atomic forces are predominantly cov...
