This article focuses on the study of the linear and nonlinear optical characteristics of thermally evaporated a-CuxGe20-xSe40Te40 thin films. Measurements and analyses of optical constants, potentials, and oscillator models were conducted to investigate the effects of different Cu ratios on the film properties. The article also discusses other important optoelectrical and dielectric parameters.
This article is devoted to completing the study of linear and nonlinear optical characteristics of thermally evaporated a-CuxGe20-xSe40Te40, CGST, (0 <= x <= 20 at.%) thin films. The film thickness and rate of deposition were fixed in 2000 A and 100 A/s, respectively. Optical constants of COST-films have been deduced from spectrophotometric measurements in the spectral range 300nm-2500 nm. The VB and CB potentials have been determined; their values increase from 0.344 eV to 0.404 eV for the CB, while increases from (-0.864 eV) to (-0.641 eV) for VB, as Cu-percentage increases. Wemple-DiDomenico single oscillator model is applied to obtain dispersion energies and parameters. The single oscillator energy decreases from 2.411 eV to 2.232 eV, while the dispersion energy increases from 14.974 eV to 20.763 eV, as Cu-ration increases. Many other important optoelectrical and dielectric parameters have also been discussed, like static refractive index, average oscillator wavelength, oscillator-length strength parameters. The surface and volume energy loss functions, optical complex conductivity (real and imaginary parts), electronic polarizability, and some nonlinear optical parameters are also well-discussed. Total electronic polarizability values increase from 4.560 angstrom to 3.088 angstrom, while the plasma frequency increases from 4.200x10(14) Hz to 3.970x10(14) Hz. All mapped parameters have been discussed and linked to each other, as well as studying their dependence on Cu-ratio.
