Abstract:Optical properties of ternary chalcognide amorphous Ge10AsxSe(90−x) (with 10?x?25 at%) thin films prepared by thermal evaporation have been measured in visible and near-infrared spectral region. The straightforward analysis proposed by Swanepoel has been successfully employed, and it has allowed us to determine the average thickness View the MathML source, and the refractive index, n, of the films, with high accuracy. The refractive index, n and the average thickness View the MathML source has been determined from the upper and lower envelopes of the transmission spectra measured at normal incidence, in the spectral range 400-2500 nm. The absorption coefficient α, and therefore extinction coefficient k, have been determined from the transmission spectra in the strong-absorption region. The dispersion of the refractive index is discussed in terms of the single oscillator Wemple-DiDomenico model, and the optical absorption edge is described using the ‘nondirect transition’ model proposed by Tauc. Likewise, the optical energy gap is derived from Tauc's extrapolation. The relationship between the optical gap and chemical composition in Ge10AsxSe(90−x) amorphous system is discussed in terms of the average heat of atomization Hs and average coordination number Nc. Finally, the chemical bond approach has been also applied successfully to interpret the decrease of the glass optical gap with increasing As content.
