Abstract:
An attempt is made to calculate the compositional dependence of the optical gap (Eg) in Ge1−xSx, Ge40−xSbxS60 and (As2S3)x(Sb2S3)1−x non-crystalline systems in an alloy-like approach. From the comparison of both the experimental dependence of Eg and the calculated ones using the Shimakawa relation [Eg AB = YEg A + (1−Y)Eg B] it is assumed that this equation is useful for such systems or parts of the systems which behave like almost ideal solutions.
