Investigations of physical parameters of Ge doped binary Se-As chalcogenide glassy alloys for optical fiber application

Abstract

Abstract Germanium doped chalcogenide glasses have potential applications in non- linear and optoelectronic devices. Ternary Ge-Se-As system has been considered to study the different important physical parameters. The impact of deviation of Ge on the cost of As in Ge-Se-As glassy system has been discussed in terms of average coordination number, cohesive energy, heat of atomization, and the theoretical optical band gap of the system. Almost all the physical parameters are found to change linearly with the variation in Ge content. The physical properties approximated in the present study can reveal the structural details for optical fibers.
