Abstract: | The optical properties of As30Se70-xSnx with (x = 0, 1, 2 and 3 at Sn %) thin films have been investigated. The films used in these studies were thermally evaporated. The
structural characterization revealed that the as-deposited films were amorphous in nature. The spectral and optical parameters
have been investigated using spectrophotometric measurements of transmittance in the wavelength range (200–1100 nm). The optical
constants were determined from the interference maxima and minima using the Swanepole method. The dispersion of the refractive
index is discussed in terms of the single-oscillator Wemple-Didomenico model. The optical-absorption edge and the optical
band gap are calculated from the absorption coefficient values using the non direct transition model proposed by Tauc’s extrapolation
procedure. The relation between the optical gap and chemical composition in As-Se-Sn glassy system is discussed in terms of
the average heat of atomization Hs and the average coordination number Nc. |
