“…This is in addition to their good chemical and physical features, which can be used in high-precision molding technology [9]. These properties make this type of material highly recommended for mid-and far-infrared applications [8] such as IR (infrared) lenses and IR detectors and suitable for producing different medical, military, and civil applications [10].…”

A quenching technique was used to prepare the chalcogenide system of the Se60−xGe35Ga5Sbx (x = 0, 5, and 10 at. %), which was deposited as thin films onto glass substrates using a thermal evaporation technique. X-ray diffraction patterns were used for structure examination of the fabricated compositions, which exposes the amorphous nature of the deposited samples. Meanwhile, the chemical compositions of the prepared samples were evaluated and calculated via the energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), which was in agreement with the measured compositional element percentages of the prepared samples. Based on the optical reflectance R and transmittance T spectra from the recorded spectrophotometric data ranging from 350 to 2500 nm, the influence of the Sb element on the Se60−xGe35Ga5Sbx thin films’ optical properties was studied. The film thickness and the refractive index were calculated via Swanepoel’s technique from optical transmittance data. It has been observed that the films’ refractive index increases with increasing x value over the spectral range. The refractive index data were used to evaluate the dielectric constants and estimate dispersion parameters Eo and Ed using the Wemple–DiDomenico model. The optical energy gap Egopt was calculated for the tested compositions. The result of the optical absorption analysis shows the presence of allowed direct and indirect transitions.
