Abstract

Fingerprints of various chemical bonds present in the (Se100 − x Bi x )90Te10 alloys for x = 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 at % have been investigated using far infrared transmission spectra. Some theoretical calculation has also been done to calculate force constant, reduced mass, bond length, bond energy and relative probability of bond formation at 27°C and 950°C.
