Abstract:Thin film and bulk samples were prepared from synthesized amorphous
Te82.2Ge13.22Si4.58 chalcogenide glassy alloy by
the thermal evaporation technique. X-ray analysis shows that both synthesized
material and thin film forms have an amorphous nature. The electrical and
thermal conductivities for the bulk sample were studied as a function of
temperature in a range below Tg (Tg = 423 K). The obtained results for
electrical conductivity are explained in accordance with the Mott and Davis
model. The switching effec… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
