Abstract

AbstractThe unified configuration‐coordinate model, describing externally‐induced structural transformations in amorphous chalcogenide semiconductors, was developed. Within this model, the existing structural units of glass‐forming matrix are supposed to be in one of three possible states: the ground (most thermodynamically equilibrium), excited (transient) and structurally‐modified (metastable) states, interconnected with a system of vertical (radiative or non‐radiative) and thermally‐activated over‐barrier tunnelling transitions. This model is used to describe kinetics of induced metastability in amorphous chalcogenides (© 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
