Raman Scattering in Amorphous As-Se System

Abstract
Raman spectra of amorphous As x Se1-x system (0≤x≤0.5) were measured and the spectra were interpreted with the molecular model of Lucovsky and Martin. In the Se-rich region the observed Raman spectra are well reproduced by the superposition of the Raman intensity of pure Se, As2Se3 and As2Se4 in proportion to x. In the As-rich region the Raman spectrum at x=0.45 is well described by the average of those at x=0.4 and 0.5. The amorphous state of As x Se1-x for 0<x8 ring, Se n chain, AsSe3 unit and As2Se4 unit. In the As-rich region, the local structure change due to the substitution of As and Se is small.
