Structure and Properties of Chalcogenide Glasses in the System (As2S3) sub 1-x (Sb2S3) sub x

The glass system (As2S3)1-x(Sb2S3)x, 0</-X</-0.65, has been studied by X-ray diffraction and microhardness measurements. The long-time irradiation of the samples by ultraviolet rays has been carried out and its structural effect was investigated. The substitutional model and the microphase separation model have been discarded. A new intermediate model, whose main feature is the formation of mezoscopic Sb2S3 clusters, has been advanced.
