Abstract

A continuous random network has been constructed based on the three-fold coordination and bond angle found in the double layers of crystalline As. The model accounts naturally for the lower density of the amorphous phase and suggests why it is semiconducting. Structural data for the model is discussed in relation to the reduced spacial function, G(r), and the reduced intensity function, F(k). Comparison with experiment is good. Finally the contributions made by the first, second and third nearest neighbour distributions are examined.
