Abstract: | Different compositions of Inx(Se0.75Te0.25)100 − x (where 0 ≤ x ≤ 10 at.%) chalcogenide glasses were prepared by the usual melt quench technique. Chalcogenide thin films of these glasses were prepared by using thermal evaporation method. The film transmittance (T(λ)) at normal incidence for these films was measured in the wavelength range 400-2500 nm using a double beam spectrophotometer. Successfully applying Swanepoel's method helps us to determine the film thickness and the real (n) and imaginary (k) parts of the complex index of refraction with high accuracy. Optical absorption measurements show that, the fundamental absorption is due to the allowed non-direct transitions. It was found that, the addition of In content leads to the increase of the refractive index increases while the optical band gap decreases. The obtained results are well discussed in terms of the chemical bond approach and the cohesive energy. |
