Abstract

Chalcogenide glasses can undergo photoinduced transformation, which makes them invaluable for applications such as rewritable compact disks and photoreceptor technologies. A study of amorphous Se, in which two coexisting photoexcitation pathways generate defect states in the band gap, finds that only one of the pathways can trigger bond rearrangement leading to structural transformation.
