Abstract
The temperature dependence of the electrical resistance and the spectral dependence of the optical absorbance of evaporated Ag10As30Te60 thin films were studied. It was found experimentally that the heat treatments cause significant changes in the electrical resistance and the optical absorbance of the chalcogenide film. The results obtained were correlated with the X-ray analyses.
