dc.description.abstractWe obtained amorphous thin films by evaporation and condensation in three-component systems based on As, Se and Ag. The aim was to investigate the influence of the third component on the thin film structure and optical properties. The refractive index and the film thickness were determined from the upper and lower envelopes of the optical transmission spectra measured in the spectral range 400 - 2500 nm. The absorption coefficient (α) was determined after extrapolating the values of n in the region of strong absorption (where α ≥ 104 cm-1); its spectral distribution is discussed. The dispersion of the refractive index was analyzed in terms of the single-oscillator Wemple-DiDomenico model. The shift of the optical absorption edge was described using the non-direct transition model proposed by Tauc. The optical band gap was calculated from the Tauc plot ahv B(Egopt - hv)2; the compositional dependence of the optical gap is also discussed. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
