Optical monitoring of solid electrolites formation in quaternary alloys Ag: AsS3-GeS4 and their analysis

Abstract

Quaternary solid electrolytes based on Ag photodoped glasses have been fabricated and studied. The process of fabrication consists of: the synthesize of glassy materials followed by their structural and electrical characterization; preparation of thin films and deposition of Ag layers; realization of a controlled Ag photodissolution (PD) processes that results in formation of solid electrolytes. The chalcogenide glassy (ChG) backbones were prepared by melt-quenching method in vacuum from pure (99, 99%) As, S and Ge but the structure have been studied by XRD and far IR spectroscopy.
