Refractive-index dispersion of glassy semiconductors in the pseudo-binary As2Se3–SbSI system
2009
Abstract The bulk chalcogenide glasses in the pseudo-binary system (As 2 Se 3 ) 100− x (SbSI) x (with x = 20, 30, 50, 70 and 80 at.%) were prepared from high-purity elemental components by melt-quenching technique. It is a system with the variable ratio of classical amorphous compound As 2 Se 3 and the molecule of antimony-sulphoiodide, SbSI, which in the monocrystal form is characterized as a ferroelectric. The refractive-index behaviour (magnitude and spectral dispersion) of investigated glasses was determined by the prism method and analyzed. To calculate and discuss the parameters of dispersion in the band gap region three different approaches were used (Cauchy, Sellmeier and Wemple–DiDomenico single-oscillator model). The comparison of the results shows good agreement between all applied models. It was found that the value of the refractive-index shows normal dispersion behaviour and increases with the increase of Sb (or SbSI) content in the investigated system, whereas the optical gap of these glasses E g slightly decreases.
