The Temperature and Frequency Dependences of the Dielectric Constants () and Dielectric Loss (") Were Studied in Glassy Se70Te20Sn10Alloy in the Audio-Frequency Range below the Glass Transition Region. the Results Indicated that Dielectric Dispersion Occurred in Glassy Se70Te20Sn10Alloy. Well-Defined Dielectric Peaks Were Obtained in Glassy Se70Te20Sn10Alloy; these Are Rarely Observed in Chalcogenide Glasses. such Loss Peaks Were Not Observed in the Glassy Se80-xTe20SnxSystem in the past for Sn Concentrations of x ≤ 8. A Detailed Analysis of the Data Showed that the Results Could Be Explained in Terms of Dipolar Relaxation, with a Distribution of Relaxation Times, this Is Quite Expected in the Case of Chalcogenide Glasses.
