Electrical properties of Se93-x-Zn2-Te5-Inx chalcogenide glasses

Abstract

Electrical properties of Se93-xZn2Te5Inx (X= 0, 2, 4, 6 and10) chalcogenide glasses have been carried out at room temperature. I-V characteristic of the present glasses were recorded upto 200V. A drastic I-V characteristic change have been observed between 160 to 200V for 4, 6, 10 at % of indium glasses. The electrical conductivity, ln(I) vs V1/2 characteristics and electrical conductivity vs average coordination number parameter of present glasses have been also determined, which extensively varied with indium concentration.
