Abstract
The nonlinearI – V behaviour and threshold switching of the bulk Se-Te-Sn system have been experimentally studied at various temperatures. It is observed that the curves are linear for low voltages and become superlinear at higher voltages. After a certain voltageVth, the current through the material shoots to a very high value and the potential across the material drops to a low value. It is also found that there is a decrease in Vh with increase in percentage of tin and temperature. An attempt is made to explain the nonlinearI – V behaviour and threshold switching on the basis of a microcrystallite model. A study of Se-Te-Sn system reveals that our results are in concurrence with the theoretical predictions.
