Abstract
Liquid As2Se3 undergoes the semiconductor-metal transition with increasing temperature when pressure is applied to avoid evaporation of the liquid. To investigate the atomic dynamics of liquid As2Se3, we have carried out inelastic x-ray scattering experiments of this system at 1073 K and 6 MPa and obtained the dynamic structure factor S(Q,E), from approximately 1.6 nm−1 to 11 nm−1, where Q and E are momentum and energy transfer, respectively. The excitation energy in the semiconducting state at 1073 K disperses as fast as the ultrasonic sound velocity at Q < 2.5 nm−1 but at Q > 2.9 nm−1 it disperses approximately 1.8 times faster. We analyzed S(Q,E) at 1073 K using a simple viscoelastic model and discussed Q dependence of the propagation of the acoustic mode.
