Synthesis and X-ray Diffraction Study of Se79 Te20 Pb1 Chalcogen Glass

Abstract

Chalcogenide glasses have received much attention from researchers during the last few years because of their interesting optical, electrical, dielectric, thermal, and physical properties by changing the composition such as wide transmission range, high refractive index, good chemical durability, optical switching, and from amorphous to crystalline phase transition. In this paper,  are taken in appropriate atomic weight percentages. Ternary Se₇₉Te₂ Pb₁ chalcogenide glass is prepared by conventional melt quenching technique. XRD method is used for the identification of crystalline materials. Thus, the absence of any sharp and prominent peak in the XRD pattern confirmed the amorphous nature of chalcogenide glass.
