The present paper reports the effect of replacement of selenium by antimony on the optical constants of new quaternary chalcogenide As 14 Ge 14 Se 72Àx Sb x (where x = 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 at.%) thin films. Films of As 14 Ge 14 Se 72Àx Sb x glasses were prepared by thermal evaporation of the bulk samp

✦ Synopsis
The related optical and electrical parameters of amorphous Ge-Bi-Se thin films were studied. The dependence of optical and electrical properties on the Bi content was observed in most compositions. At Bi 410 at% the behavior show a switch from p to n type conduction mechanism. The correlation between the optical band gap E g and the average heats of atomization H s were observed. The results indicated that both the number of topological constant N con and the radial and angular N a , N b valence force constants exhibit the same trend with increasing Bi content. On the other hand, the mean bond energy /ES increases with increasing Bi content to x ¼ 15 at%. It may be concluded that /ES is a function of the mean coordination number N co , the type of bonds, the degree of cross-linking and the band energy forming the network.

Being a glass, chalcogenides are versatile platform. The freedom allowed in the preparation of glasses in varied compositions brings about changes in their short range order and thus results in variation of their physical properties. Therefore it is possible to tailor their various properties, as de
