Abstract
The similarities and differences between tetra-coordinated elemental and compound amorphous semiconductors are discussed through a comparative study of the structure and optical properties of evaporated a-Ge and a-GaAs films. Special attention is paid to the consequences of different topological disorder, and to the origin of optical absorption tails in either case.Keywords
