Effect of tellurium substitution in Sn10Sb20Se70−X TeX (0 < X < 12) amorphous chalcogenide system
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 July 2009
Abstract
The as-prepared samples of Sn10Sb20Se$_{70-X}$ TeX
chalcogenide system were amorphous as evidenced by X-ray diffraction and
Differential scanning calorimetry studies. The different crystalline phases
emerged in annealed Sn10Sb20Se$_{70-X}$
TeX samples have been
identified. Glass transition temperature Tg of the as-prepared samples
decreases sharply with tellurium substitution upto 2 at% and then it
starts increasing upto 10 at% and decreases again on further substitution
of tellurium. The change in glass transition temperature Tg has been
explained based on bond formation energy of different heteropolar bonds and
crystalline phases obtained in the annealed samples with different tellurium
contents.
