Sv. Boycheva et al., On the glass formation in the semiconducting GeSe2-Sb2Se3-ZnTe, As2Se3-Sb2Se3-ZnSe and GeSe2-ZnTe-ZnSe systems, J PHYS D, 32(4), 1999, pp. 529-532
The glass-forming regions in the GeSe2-Sb2Se3-ZnTe, As2Se3-Sb2Se3-ZnSe and
GeSe2-ZnTe-ZnSe chalcogenide systems have been determined. The temperatures
of phase transformations (the glass transition, crystallization and meltin
g), the density and the microhardness have been studied. The crystalline ph
ases which can be formed in these glasses have been specified. The establis
hed correlation between the properties and the composition has been explain
ed with respect to the specific roles of the compounds involved. The result
s obtained have been compared with those for the similar ternary GeSe2-Sb2S
e3-ZnSe system.
