Fabrication of stoichiometric oriented Ag2Se thin film by laser ablation

Increasing the Plasticity of Chalcogenide Glasses in the System Ag2Se–Sb2Se3–GeSe2

“…A number of experimental data indicate that Ag 2 Se is not only capable of forming a glassy phase, but, more importantly, this glassy phase has a high glass transition temperature. In previous studies, , it was shown that the stoichiometric Ag 2 Se films obtained by laser ablation are X-ray amorphous. They retain X-ray amorphousness independently on thickness at least up to 1 μm over a wide temperature range.…”

“…It should be noted that the evaluation of the plasticity of Ag 2 Se using the Milman method was performed for bulk polycrystalline ingots. In turn, thin amorphous Ag 2 Se films were used in order to measure the same value using the load–unload method. , …”
