P. Krecmer et al., NOVEL PHOTOINDUCED ANISOTROPY IN AMORPHOUS AS50SE50 FILMS AT NEAR THEGLASS-TRANSITION TEMPERATURE, Journal of non-crystalline solids, 230, 1998, pp. 682-687
The results of an experimental study of high-temperature measurements
of photoinduced anisotropy and the first Raman spectra of the photoind
uced anisotropic state of amorphous As50Se50 films are given. Two nove
l photo-anisotropic phenomena were observed near the glass-transition
temperature, T-g, and a possible explanation of these phenomena in ter
ms of light-induced preferential bond breaking within crystalline clus
ters or rotation of these clusters is suggested. (C) 1998 Elsevier Sci
