Photosensitivity of semiconducting SeTeSb glasses

Vibrational spectra of some binary semiconducting oxide glasses

The frequency-dependent complex relative permittivities of binary semiconducting V205-P205 glasses containing various amounts of vanadium have been measured at ambient temperature in the infrared region by power reflection spectroscopy. The measured values of the static constant, ~0, and high frequency constant, s=, are used to calculate the small polaron binding energy, Wp, and the activation ...

Comparison of Semiconducting Behavior and Optical Properties of Oxyfluoride Glasses of SiO2-Al2O3-BaF2 and SiO2-Al2O3-CaF2 Systems

Amorphous semiconductors are materials with a brilliant prospect for a wide range of optical applications like solar cells, optical sensors, optical devices, and memories. The purpose of the present research was to study the semiconducting optical properties of SiO2-Al2O3-CaF2 and SiO2-Al2O3-BaF2 oxyfluoride...

Structure, nonlinear properties, and photosensitivity of (GeSe2)100-x(Sb2Se3)x glasses

Chalcogenide glasses from (GeSe2)100-x(Sb2Se3)x system were synthesized, with x varying from 5 to 70, in order to evaluate the influence of antimony selenide addition on nonlinear optical properties and photosensitivity. Nonlinear refractive index and two photon absorption coefficients were measured both at 1064 nm in picosecond regime using the Z-scan technique and at 1.55 μm in femtosecond re...

Photosensitivity and volume gratings in phosphate glasses for rare-earth-doped ion-exchanged optical waveguide lasers

Structure of semiconducting versus fast-ion conducting glasses in the Ag–Ge–Se system

The transition from a semiconductor to a fast-ion conductor with increasing silver content along the Ag x (Ge0.25Se0.75)(100-x) tie line (0≤x≤25) was investigated on multiple length scales by employing a combination of electric force microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and neutron diffraction. The microscopy results show separation into silver-rich and silver-poor phases, where the Ag-rich phase per...
