| Abstract: | We report the dependence of photo-oxidation (i.e., the formation of As2O3 microcrystals) on Ag (or Cu) content in Ag-doped As2Se3 and Cu-doped As2Se3 films. These chalcogenide films were prepared by thermal evaporation and photodoping, and their film surface was illuminated in air with an Ar laser beam of a wavelength of 0.5145 μm. From viewpoint of applications, we paid attention to the probability and the beginning optical intensity of the As2O3 microcrystals formation, and the photodarkening effect as a function of Ag (Cu) content. It has been confirmed that the addition of metals Cu or Ag into As2Se3 films is very useful in for suppressing or weakening such a harmful oxidation reaction. It has also been found that there is a distinct difference in these properties between Ag–As2Se3 and Cu–As2Se3 films, which is attributed to the difference in the coordinate number between Ag and Cu atoms. |
