Abstract
Abstract X-ray K-absorption studies of glassy Ge22Se78 and Ge22Se68M10 (M = Ag, Cd, In, Pb) have been made in order to understand the nature of bonding of metallic atoms in ternary alloys. The edge shift is found to be dependent on the difference in electronegativity between the metallic atoms and the Ge or Se atoms. The results are in agreement with Pauling's concept of electronegativity and indicate that the nature of the bonds in these glasses is iono-covalent in character as found in many crystalline solids.
