Dependence of activation energy and pre-exponential factor on electric field in amorphous thin films of Se70Te30−xZnx

Dependence of activation energy and pre-exponential factor on audio frequency in glassy Se80−xTe20Snx alloys

“…The validity of MNR has been reported in the case of chalcogenide glasses for different thermally activated process in recent past [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20]. Initially, in case of these glasses this rule was observed * Corresponding author.…”

“…Later, MNR is observed in chalcogenide glasses by varying the intensity of light [10][11][12][13][14]. Most recently, it is observed by our group by changing E by varying electric field across a particular sample in dark in glassy Se 70 Te 30−x Zn x system [15]. The application of the MNR in case of ac conductivity studies has not been studied in detail.…”

Optical properties of amorphous CuS thin films deposited chemically at different pH values

“…These amorphous thin films are important in various technological areas because they exhibit some of the optical properties of their crystalline counterparts. Similar to other deposited thin films, the properties of amorphous chalcogenide thin films also dramatically depend on their deposition conditions [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. The deposition of chalcogenide thin films is achieved by vacuum thermal evaporation [8], thermal evaporation [9], the flash evaporation method [10] and chemical bath deposition (CBD) [11].…”

The Meyer–Neldel rule for dc activation processes in mixed isoelectronic chalcogens systems

“…Many authors [c.f., [9][10][11] and references cited therein] reported that the conductivity of chalcogenide glasses obeys the MNR; i.e., E MN > 0. Observations of E MN b 0 are, also, observed and author's referred to these as inverse or anti-MNR [c.f.…”

“…Observations of E MN b 0 are, also, observed and author's referred to these as inverse or anti-MNR [c.f. 10,11]. Observation of E MN > 0 and E MN b 0 introduces a speculation about the origin of the MNR (Eq.…”
