Abstract.We have investigated the dissociation rates of nonstoichiometric semiconductors Ag2+_sX (X = S, Se) to the vacuum by means of solid-state electrochemical technique. The values of chalcogen fluxes from the sample's surface were measured versus compound's composition and temperature. There has been obtained experimental evidence of the surface reconstruction of silver chalcogenides when the exact phase composition 8~r.(T) is reached. This critical value 5or. correlates with the order-disorder transition in the silver sublattice for the Ag2• interface.
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.
