Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

The optical spectra of glassy As2X3 (X = S, Se, Te) in the range 0–40 eV were calculated from experimental reflection and electronic energy loss spectra using Kramers–Kronig integral relations and analyzed in detail. The dielectric permittivity spectra of g-As2X3 were for the first time decomposed into elementary components and their main parameters were determined.
