Structural Effects on Electrical Properties in Amorphous Semiconductors

Abstract

Work has been concentrated on a survey of the structure, electrical and magnetic properties of transition metal oxide-phosphate glasses and glasses in the As2Te3-As2Se3 system which possess electrical or magnetic device potential. Results of magnetic and electrical observations in several transition metal-phosphate glasses have revealed a high degree of magnetic and structural order. The pronounced influence of glass-glass phase separation has also been noted. Examination of a V2O5 - P2O5 glass has revealed an antiferromagnetic transition in the glass at a low temperature. Results on a CuO-P2O5 glass are promising, in that an extremely large range of conductivities has been observed thus indicating potentially useful in device application. Detailed studies of the As2Te3-As2Se3 system has shown switching behavior which can be controlled with compositional variation.
