Abstract :
The present paper reports the electrical conductivity of Se-Te-Sb based chalcogenide glasses under a vacuum of 10-4 Torr. The samples were prepared by quenching technique. Quenching was done in ice water and the glassy nature of alloys was verified by X-ray diffraction. In general, the conductivity in chalcogenide glasses at higher temperatures is dominated by band conduction (DC conduction). But, at lower temperatures, hop-ping conduction dominates over band conduction. A study at lower temperature can, eventually, provide useful information about the conduction mechanism and the defect states in the material. Therefore, the study of electrical properties of Se-Te-Sb Based Chalcogenide Glasses in the lower temperature region (room temperature) is interesting.
