“…This value is a little bit longer than in GeS x sharing Ge-Ge distances has a peak around 2.9 Å and a second one at 3.35-3.4 Å, separated by a minimum at 3.1 Å. The first value is similar to what was found in the Ge 25 (As,Ga) 10 S 65 system [41], in crystalline GeS 2 [61], and in GeS x glasses [59,60]. The third coordination shell around Ge at r Ge-Ge 3.5 Å found in earlier publications [40,59,60] seems to decompose a shorter ES (r = 3.4 Å) and a longer CS (r = 3.6 Å) distances in our simulation models.…”
The structure of (GeS 2 ) 0.75 (Ga 2 S 3 ) 0.25 and (GeS 2 ) 0.83 (Ga 2 S 3 ) 0.17 glasses was investigated by Raman scattering, high energy X-ray diffraction and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) measurements at the Ga and Ge K-edges. The reverse Monte Carlo simulation technique (RMC) was used to obtain structural models compatible with diffraction and EXAFS datasets. It was found that the coordination number of Ga is close to four. While Ge atoms have only S neighbors, Ga binds to S as well as to Ga atoms showing a violation of chemical ordering in GeS 2 -Ga 2 S 3 glasses. Analysis of the corner-and edge-sharing between [GeS 4/2 ] units revealed that about 30% of germanium atoms participate in the edge-shared tetrahedra.

“…There are only two reports on -GeSe (13,14) and one on -GeSe (21). In all other synthesis reports only -GeSe , the stable ambient-pressure modification (20), has been obtained (15)(16)(17)(18)(19). The occurrence of -GeSe and six-coordinated Ge atoms at ambient pressure has been questioned by Dittmar and Scha¨fer (18).…”

“…Orthorhombic -GeSe (Pmmn or Pmn) has a distorted layered structure of CdI (P3 m1), where the cations are octahedrally coordinated (13,14). Layered -GeSe (P2 /c) is isotypic with the high-temperature modification of GeS (HT-GeS ), with GeSe tetrahedra connected via corners into chains along the a axis and by edge-sharing Ge Se double tetrahedra along the b axis (15)(16)(17)(18)(19). Recently, a second-order phase transition of -GeSe has been reported by St+len et al (20).…”
“…GeS 2 has two types of crystal structure. One is two-dimensional GeS 2 which is composed of corner-sharing GeS 4 tetrahedra cross-linked by edge-sharing tetrahedra and usually obtained at a relatively high temperature [7], and the other is three-dimensional GeS 2 crystal composed of corner-sharing GeS 4 tetrahedra with the same local structure as SiO 2 [8].…”
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.
