ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY OF Se-In CHALCOGENIDE GLASSES

摘要

Over the last four decades, the researchers are involved in the study of electrical properties of chalcogenides glasses to explore the new dimensions for their end user applications with enhanced properties. Present work incorporates the study of I-V characteristics and electrical conductivity of bulk Se100-xInxamorphous system, prepared by conventional rapid melt-quenching technique. It could be inferred out that the Se90In10composition is most conducting as compared to its other counterparts in the proposed series. This could be explained on the basis of bonding between Se-Se, Se-In and In-In. On the other hand the decrease in electrical conductivity beyond 10 at. wt.% of In in Se100-xInxsystem is explained on the basis of increment of the degree of disorder of the system
