COMPUTER SIMULATION OF ELECTRON SPIN RESONANCE SPECTRA OF GE25S75 AND GE30S70 BULK GLASSES

摘要

The electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra of bulk glasses of the chemical composition Ge25S75 and Ge30S70 were measured at liquid nitrogen temperature and subjected to computerized separation. The complex ESR spectra of both glasses were found to represent a superposition of three paramagnetic defect spectra, two with orthorhombic tensors g and one with the axial tensor g. The former two paramagnetic centers can be related to a two-atomic defect of the sulfur-sulfur type, the latter to a germanium-sulfur defect. The experimental results are in a good agreement with the non-dangling bond model of paramagnetic defects in Ge-S glasses. [References: 11]
