Glass formation and structural studies of chalcogenide glasses in the CdSGa2S3GeS2 system

Solid–liquid equilibria in the quasi-ternary system CdS–Ga2S3–GeS2

“…The maximum CdS content in glass is ∼30 mol%, whereas Ga 2 S 3 content reaches ∼35 mol% for the alloys quenched from 1273 K [11]. The glasses of this system [10,11] indices and significant transparency regions in the IR range which makes them promising materials for optoelectronics [14].…”

“…The authors of [10], in addition to establishing the glassformation region, used theoretical rules and then-known literature data on the quasi-binary systems to depict a liquidus surface projection of the quasi-ternary system CdS-Ga 2 S 3 -GeS 2 (Fig. 1).…”

“…These systems also draw interest by the possibility of obtaining certain alloys in the glassy state. The glass-formation regions were established for seven quasi-ternary systems (CdS-Ga 2 S 3 -GeS 2 [10,11], (Zn, Cd, Hg) Se-Ga 2 Se 3 -GeSe 2 [12], (Zn, Cd, Hg) Se-Ga 2 Se 3 -SnSe 2 [13]). The glasses exist in a wide region in the investigated system CdS-Ga 2 S 3 -GeS 2 .…”

Phase equilibria in the quasi-ternary ZnSe–Ga2Se3–SnSe2 system

“…Sulfur-containing systems are significantly less known. For instance, Barnier et al [13] investigated the glass-formation region in the CdS-Ga 2 S 3 -GeS 2 system. We have triangulated and constructed an isothermal section of HgS-Ga 2 S 3 -GeS 2 system [14].…”

Phase equilibria in the HgS–Ga2S3–GeS2 system

“…The glassformation regions have been also established in seven quasiternary systems (CdS-Ga 2 S 3 -GeS 2 [17,18], Zn(Cd,Hg) Se-Ga 2 Se 3 -GeSe 2 [19], Zn(Cd,Hg)Se-Ga 2 Se 3 -SnSe 2 [20]). …”
