Abstract

The chalcogenide films As2Se3, CuI–As2Se3, and CuI–PbI2–As2Se3 are prepared through chemical deposition from an organic solvent and investigated by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy. The contents of the main components of the chalcogenide films are compared by analyzing the intensity ratios for the AsKα, SeKα, and CuKα lines. It is found that the content of the main components (As, Se, and Cu) is virtually the same in binary chalcogenide, pseudobinary, and multicomponent chalcogenide systems, no matter what the technique used for preparing the materials (films deposited from solutions of chalcogenide glasses in n-butylamine and bulk glasses). This result is consistent with a model of dissolution of vitreous semiconductors in organic bases (amine) according to which the fundamental properties of bulk glasses remain unchanged upon formation of the films. The experimental data indicate an analogy between the properties of the multicomponent chalcogenide glasses CuI–As2Se3 and CuI–PbI2–As2Se3 and the chalcogenide glass–based films.
