Microscopic origin of the companionA1Raman line in glassy Ge(S,Se)2

Abstract
A solution to the long-standing problem of the companion A1 Raman line [symmetric breathing mode of Ge(S,Se)4 tetrahedra] in Ge(S,Se)2 glasses is proposed based on the observation of a similar doublet in the crystal. The proposed model assumes that g-Ge(S,Se)2 consists of units with a layered structure, in sharp contradistinction to g-SiO2, which consists of a random, fully three-dimensional network.
