The rationale of this study is to investigate band gap tailoring of Sb-Se-Sn chalcogenide glasses. This study has been accompanied by the assessment of various theoretical parameters such as average co-ordination number, Lone-pair of electrons, number of constraints, average heat of atomization, mean bond energy and glass transition temperature. It has been observed that almost all these physical parameters have been enhanced with the increase in tin (Sn) content except Lone-pair of electrons. The number of lone-pair electrons has been decreased with the increase in Sn content. The glass transition temperature has been observed to increase due to the addition of Sn atom in the Se-Sb glassy system. The band gap is decreasing with increase in Sn content due to overall decrease in the average single bond energy of the Sb-Se-Sn glassy system.

Cu5Se75In10M10 (M = Ge, Te) bulk chalcogenide glasses have been prepared by melt quench technique. XRD technique has been used for structural characterization. Absence of peaks confirms the amorphous nature of the studied composites. Some important physical parameters have been investigated theoretically i.e., average coordination number, constraints, density, molar volume, cohesive energy, electro negativity, heat of atomization, bond energy etc. Tichy-Ticha and Lankhorst approach has also been used to study the glass transition temperature Tg. Theoretical analysis of composition shows that there is significant change in the structure of the glass due to rigidity percolation.

Photoinduced Changes

Amorphous chalcogenides, of which selenium is the simplest representative, exhibit a number of unique properties such as the ability to undergo various transformations under the action of the bandgap light. On illumination, the absorption edge shifts to lower energies, and subsequent annealing near the glass-transition temperature leads to a recovery of the initial parameters as demonstrated in Figure 1. Such a photo-induced change could not be observed either in amorphous group IV semiconductors or a-As or in crystalline chalcogenides. A good review of the initial stage of these studies was made by de Neufville.Reversible photodarkening can also be observed in pure chalcogens, but this process can be achieved only at lower temperatures, which is understandable if one takes into account that the glass-transition temperature of selenium is just above room temperature. This result indicates that there is a correlation between the temperature at which photodarkening is annealed out and the flexibility of the glassy network.Reversible changes in the optical absorption are accompanied by (reversible) changes in electrical and photoelectric properties, volume, microhardness, glass-transition temperature, and dissolution rate in various solvents, to name a few. The totality of these changes has led investigators to the conclusion that the photoinduced changes in optical absorption are caused by changes in structure.

In the present communication, a study was made of the compositional variation of physical properties: average coordination number (<r>), average number of constraints (Ncon), number of lone-pair electrons (L), mean bond energy (<E>), cohesive energy (CE), average heat of atomization (Hs), glass transition temperature (Tg), density (ρ) and theoretical energy gap (Eg) for Te15(Se100-xBix)85 (x = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5at%) glassy alloys. The mean bond energy and the cohesive energy have been calculated using the chemical bond approach (CBA). The glass transition temperature was calculated using the Tichy-Ticha approach, and has been found to increase with Bi content. The mean bond energy is found to be proportional to the glass transition temperature and the average coordination number. It has been found that the average coordination number, average number of constraints, mean bond energy and density increase, whereas the cohesive energy, average heat of atomization and theoretical energy gap decrease with increasing Bi content in Se-Te alloys.

Abstract The physico-chemical properties of (GeS2–Sb2S3)100-x(CsCl)x (0 ≤ x ≤ 40 mol%) chalcohalide glasses were theoretically studied. The band gap (Eg) of the studied glass system was estimated and was found to increase by adding the CsCl content. Furthermore, the positions of the valence band and conduction band edges was determined. The results reveal that the molar volume (Vm) of the studied samples increased while the density (ρ) and the number of atoms per unit volume (N) decreased with increasing the CsCl content. The overall coordination number (CN), constraints number (Ns) and overall mean bond energy (<E>) were computed using the chemical bond approach and were found to decrease. In contrast, the number of lone-pair electrons (LP) and cohesive energy (CE) increased. Finally, the glass-transition temperature (Tg) was also estimated based on the overall mean bond energy, and was found to decrease with increasing the CsCl content.
