Abstract

A model which explains in a unified way the photodoping, photosurface deposition and photoinduced chemical modification in chalcogenide glasses is presented. It is proposed that the local shift of the Fermi level induced by illumination triggers the flow of holes and the contraflow of metal ions, resulting in the observed photoinduced phenomena. Atomic processes of the ion dynamics has been presented also, in connection with the superionic transport.
