Radiation-induced structural transformations in vitreous chalcogenide semiconductors

Radiation-induced structural transformations (RST) in vitreous As2S3-based chalcogenide semiconductors have been considered at the level of destruction-polymerization changes of covalent chemical bonds, associated with coordination defect (CD) formation processes. The whole variety of the CD has been taken into account to construct a physically real variant of the radiation-idduced structural changes. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
