Abstract

Chalcogens are elements from group VI-A of periodic table—sulfur (S), selenium (Se), and tellurium (Te). A chalcogenide glass is a glass containing one or more chalcogen element as a substantial constituent. Chalcogen (S, Se, and Te) rich glassy systems have potential applications in nonlinear optical limiting devices, IR optics, reversible optical recording, memory switching, and other applications. A quaternary glassy system (Ge20Se80)100−x(Si20Te80)x has been investigated for different important physical parameters viz. molar volume, average heat of atomization, lone pair electrons, number of constraints, average coordination number, glass transition temperature, etc. Linear variation in glass transition temperature with varying heat of atomization and variation of high refractive index as a result of increasing density may account for the optical limiting effect. The approximated critically calculated physical parameters in the present study reveal the nonlinearity and structural detail of investigated glass for various applications.
