Optical and dispersion parameters of Ge-Zn-Se glassy films for VIS and FTIR Applications

Abstract

Different 〖(GeZn)〗_(100-x) 〖Se〗_x (9≤x≤25 at.%) chalcogenide films have been thermally evaporated onto cleaned glass substrates. The film transmission (T) and reflection (R) spectra have been measured over the wavelength spectral range (0.3-2.5 m). The composition dependence of the optical band gap (Eg) has been illustrated and interpreted in the light of the Mott and Davies Model (MDM). The linear correlation between the changes in the optical band gap (Eg) and in the band tail parameter (∆√B) confirmed the disorder's decrease, which explains the observed increase in Eg values with increasing Se concentrations. The dispersion and Sellmeier parameters have been determined and well discussed. A clear blueshift was observed throughout the observed decrease in values of o and no and the observed shift of the absorption edge to the short wavelengths. The GZS films are transparent in the visible, near- and far-infrared, which makes these glasses suitable for VIS and infrared applications.

Exploring the electronic, optical, and thermoelectric features of BaXCu3Se4 (X = In, Tl) quaternary chalcogenides: first-principles study

“…Cu 2 CdSnSe 4 [27], CuInTe 2 [28], Cu 3 SbCh 4 (Ch = Se, S) [29], and Cu 2 ZnSnX 4 (X = Se, S) are quaternary or ternary based chalcogenides that have recently investigated by researchers. These chalcogenides may be thought of as modified versions of II-VI ZnS semiconductors [30]. These have the potential to be employed as thermoelectric materials due to their remarkable transport characteristics and relatively low thermal conductivity [31][32][33].…”
