Photodarkening of Germanium-Selenium Glasses Induced by Below-Bandgap Light PHOTODARKENING OF GERMANIUM-SELENIUM GLASSES INDUCED BY BELOW-BANDGAP LIGHT By CRAIG RUSSELL SCHARDT A DISSERTATION PRESENTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA 2000 Copyright 2000 by Craig Russell Schardt To my parents, Jean and George Schardt. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS It is my great pleasure to thank my advisor, Dr. Joseph Simmons, for his patience and guidance throughout my years as a graduate student. He gives his students the freedom to find their own research direction and the encouragement to produce quality over quantity. I believe that his supervision has helped me to become a better researcher and prepared me for the challenges I will face in my professional career. I also thank the members of my committee—Dr. Cammy Abernathy, Dr. Paul Holloway, Dr. Rolf Hummel, and Dr. David Reitze—for all of their assistance and thoughtful comments. I could not have completed this project without the excellent samples prepared by Pierre Lucas and Lydia LeNiendre. I must also thank Pierre for the many papers he sent me and the useful conversations we have had. My gratitude goes out to Dr. Li Wang for teaching me how to set up and operate the Ti:Sapphire laser and to Mrs. Catherine J. Simmons for all of her encouragement and advice. Gwain A. Davis has been a friend and mentor to me outside of the lab. I would like to thank him for all of his guidance in developing my leadership skills and for showing me that people live up to your expectations of them. Finally, I extend special thanks to my wife, Heather M. Mockler-Schardt, for her love and support during my years as a graduate student. She has been my unwavering companion from the beginning, and for this I am indebted to her. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

  • Applications of Chalcogenide Glasses: an Overview
    International Journal of ChemTech Research CODEN (USA): IJCRGG ISSN : 0974-4290 Vol.6, No.11, pp 4682-4686, Oct-Nov 2014 Applications of Chalcogenide Glasses: An Overview Suresh Sagadevan*1 and Edison Chandraseelan2 *1Department of Physics, Sree Sastha Institute of Engineering and Technology, Chennai-600 123, India 2 Department of Mechanical Engineering, Sree Sastha Institute of Engineering and Technology, Chennai--600 123, India *Corres.author: [email protected] Abstract: Chalcogenides are compounds formed predominately from one or more of the chalcogen elements; sulphur, selenium and tellurium. Although first studied over fifty years ago, interest in chalcogenide glasses has, over the past few years, increased significantly as glasses, crystals and alloys find new life in a wide range of optoelectronic devices applications. Following the development of the glassy chalcogenide field, new optoelectronic materials based on these materials have been discovered. Several non-oxide glasses have been prepared and investigated in the last several decades, thus widening the groups of chalcogen materials used in various optical, electronic and optoelectronic glasses. This paper reviews the development of chalcogenide glasses, their physical properties and applications in electronics and optoelectronics. The glassy, amorphous and disordered chalcogenide materials, which are important for optoelectronic applications, are discussed. This paper also deals with an overview of representative applications these exciting optoelectronic materials. 1. Introduction The name chalcogenide originates from the Greek word “chalcos” meaning ore and “gen” meaning formation, thus the term chalcogenide is generally considered to mean ore former [1]. The elements of group sixteen of the periodic table is known as the chalcogens. The group consists of oxygen, sulphur, selenium, tellurium and polonium though oxygen is not included in the chalcogenide category.

    CHAPTER V X-RAY ABSOHPTION SPECTRA OF S01V1E IN'l'hRME'l'ALLIC COMPOUr\DS 1. General classification For presenting the experimental results obtained on the selenides, the present chapter has been divided into three parts for the convenience of discussion. The first part describes the results on some group I selenides (Ag2Se, CuSe and CU3Se2) and the second describes the work on group II selenides (ZnSe, CdSe and HgSe). In the last part of the chapter is described the work on germanium selenides (GeSe and GeSe2). GROUP I SELENIDES 2. Results Fig. 17 shows the diffraction patterns of the samples of Ag2Se, CuSe and CU3Se2 prepared in the laboratory follow­ ing the general method outlined in Chapter II, along with those of silver, selenium and copper. Cu Ka radiation was 55 56 used to record the diffraction patterns which were taken on a Philips powder camera of diameter 114.6 mm. The radiation was filtered by a nickel foil in order to render the beam monochromatic. Exposures ranging between 4-6 hours were gi vena The diffraction patterns, which are consistent with the crystal structures52 ,85,86 of the three compounds indi­ cate the formation of the respective lattices and therefore of the compounds.

    Chalcogenide Letters Vol. 6, No. 10, October 2009, p. 549 – 554 ELECTRICAL TRANSPORT PROPERTIES OF SnS AND SnSe SINGLE CRYSTALS GROWN BY DIRECT VAPOUR TRANSPORT TECHNIQUE B. B. NARIYA*, A. K. DASADIA, M. K. BHAYANI, A. J. PATEL, A. R. JANI Department of Physics, Sardar Patel University, Vallabh Vidyanagar-388 120, Gujarat, India Tin monosulphide and Tin monoselenide single crystals have been grown by a direct vapour transport technique. Confirmation of stoichiometric proportion of constituent elements and determination of crystal structure of grown crystals were done by EDAX and powder X-ray diffraction analysis. The resistivity and thermoelectric power measurements were carried out in the temperature range 308 K to 573 K. The Hall coefficient, carrier concentration and Hall mobility were determined from Hall effect measurements at room temperature. (Received September 14, 2009; accepted September 30, 2009) Keywords: SnS, SnSe, Single crystal, Vapour transport technique 1. Introduction Among the IV-VI semiconductor compounds, tin sulphide (SnS), tin selenide (SnSe), germanium sulphide (GeS) and germanium selenide (GeSe) have the layered orthorhombic structure with eight atoms per unit cell forming biplaner layers normal to the largest c axis [1-4]. In unit cell of SnS and SnSe, atoms in a single layer are joined to three nearest neighbors by covalent bonds which forms zigzag chains along the b axis while there is only van der Walls bonding between the layers. This typical crystalline structure results in strong anisotropic optical properties at low energies and more isotropic optical properties at higher energies, which makes them interesting materials intermediate between two dimensional and three-dimensional semiconductors.

Received: 27 July 2009; in revised form: 1 September 2009 / Accepted: 23 October 2009 / Published: 26 October 2009 Abstract: Despite being close neighbors on the Periodic Table, selenium and tellurium present a totally different abilities to form glasses. Se is a very good glass former, and gives rise to numerous glass compositions which are popular for their transparency in the infrared range and their stability against crystallization. These glasses can be shaped into sophisticated optical devices such as optical fibers, planar guides or lenses. Nevertheless, their transparencies are limited at about 12 µm (depending on the thickness of the optical systems) due to the relatively small mass of the Se element. On the other hand, tellurium is heavier and its use in substitution for Se permits to shift the IR cutoff beyond 20 µm. However, the semimetallic nature of Te limits its glass formation ability and this glass family is known to be unstable and consequently has found application as phase change material in the Digital Versatile Disk (DVD) technology.
