Papers by Keyword: Coordination Topological Defects

Abstract: Optical changes caused by ⁶⁰Co γ-irradiation are studied in glassy-like As40S60. The observed long-wave shift in the range of fundamental optical absorption edge accompanied by increase in transmittance is explained as a manifestation of complicated nature of radiation-induced structural transformations associated with coordination topological defects and additional shrinkage input from natural physical ageing.

Abstract: A mechanism of g-induced (Co60 g-quanta of 1.25 MeV mean energy) changes in optical properties of ternary As-Ge-S chalcogenide vitreous semiconductors is analysed. It is connected with chemical bond re-switching accompanied by coordination topological defect formation. The origin of these defects for As-Ge-S system is discussed using data of positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy, IR Fourier reflection measurements and mathematical statistics.
