Nonlinear Photo-Diffusion in Amorphous Chalcogenide Multilayers

Article Preview

Abstract:

Enhanced intermixing, induced by a laser beam, has been recently observed in amorphous Se/As2S3 and similar multilayers. We report a model, based on the concept of thermal spikes, which can consistently describe experimental observations. The concentration dependence of the light absorption properties causes the photo-stimulated diffusion to be non-linear even when a concentration independent coefficient of thermo-stimulated diffusion is assumed.
