Optical recording characteristics of Sb2Se3 thin films using a CW-Ar+ laser

Optical properties and structure of thin films from the system GeSe2–Sb2Se3–AgI

“…Optical properties of chalcogenide glasses from the system Ge x Se 100 − x were reported by many authors for bulk glasses [5] as well as for thin films prepared by evaporation [6], by sputtering [7], by plasmaenhanced chemical vapor deposition [8], and by pulsed laser deposition [9]. On the contrary, considerably fewer efforts have been dedicated on Sb-Se binary glasses [10][11][12]. The structure of Sb x Se 100 − x bulk glasses was investigated using Raman scattering [10] and data for the optical recording characteristic of Sb 2 Se 3 thin films were published by very few researches [11,12].…”

Structural characterization of light-induced crystal growth in Se98Sb2 chalcogenide glass

“…The structure of some Se-Sb thin films is analysed by Kaito et al [10]. Optical recording characteristics of Sb 2 Se 3 thin films using CW-Ar + laser has been studied by Jayakumar et al [11]. Laser-induced crystal growth in amorphous films of Sb 2 M 3 (C= S, Se, Te), has been reported by Arun et al [12].…”

“…Recently, considerable attention has been focused on glasses of Se-Sb system [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] as these materials have found applications for their electrical, optical, dielectric and thermal properties. Glasses of Se-Sb system exhibit switching effect [1,2].…”

Effect of annealing temperature on the structural and optical properties of amorphous Sb2Te2Se thin films

“…Amongst these compounds, Sb 2 Se 3 and Sb 2 Te 3 , which crystallize in the orthorhombic and rhombohedral type structure with energy gap 1.2 and 0.3 eV; respectively [3]. Such compounds have been widely studied [4][5][6][7] where they exhibited potentially useful applications in optical storage [8,9] and thermoelectric cooling devices [10,11].…”
