Preparation, Structure, and Optical Properties of Thin ZnAs2 Films

Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

X-ray amorphous ZnAs2 films were produced on various transparent substrates by thermal evaporation. The composition of the films was found to depend on the source temperature. Stoichiometric films were deposited at source temperatures of 765 ± 20 K. The evaporation and deposition rates calculated in a layerwise vaporization model agree with those found in experiment. The intrinsic edge in the IR transmission spectra of the films is broader and is shifted to longer wavelengths in comparison with bulk ZnAs2 crystals. The high 300-K transmittance (≥40%) of the films in the range 1.4–16 μm is of practical interest in devising sharp-cutoff IR filters.
