Abstract
A systematic investigation of the optical and structural properties of chalcogenide glasses in Ge–Sn–Se ternary system is presented. We have found a threshold behavior of optical property, namely, existence of transitional composition of the Ge–Sn–Se glasses, with progressive replacement of Se by Sn. Calculation of mean coordination number indicates that the transition-like feature of optical property is associated with the evolution of chemical ordering of the Ge–Sn–Se network. Analysis of Raman spectra of the glasses explains that the interaction between Se–Se bonds, Sn(Se1/2)4 tetrahedra, and Sn–Sn homopolar bonds is the origination of such optical phenomenon.
