A Study of Some Physical Parameters of GexSb32-xTe68 Glassy Semiconductor

Author(s): Manish Saxena Manuj K Agarwal, Atul K Kukreti and Nikhil Rastogi

The effect of compositional variations on various properties of chalcogenide glasses has been increased in recent years. The effect on the physical properties viz. average coordination number, lone-pair electron Average heat of atomization, mean bond energy, glass transition temperature, etc., with the variation in Ge content has been studied theoretically in the present work for GexSb32-xTe68 (x = 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21 at. %) glassy semiconductor. The glass transition temperature and mean bond energy have been calculated by using the Tichy-Ticha approach. Almost all the parameters, studied here, except the lone-pair electron L and parameter R, were found to increase with the increase in Ge content, thus making this suitable for phase change optical recording
