In the short wave spectral domain the dispersion coefficient dn/d(lambda) of the glassy As2S3 appears to be the same as in KRS-5, and with increasing the iodine concentration in the glasses the value of dn/d(lambda) decreases. The zero-dispersion os the glasses under study is shifted towards the long waves as the iodine concentration increases.","PeriodicalId":276773,"journal":{"name":"Material Science and Material Properties for Infrared Optics","volume":"114 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123956829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mechanism of current flow for forward bias under nonequilibrium charge carriers trapping and recombination in the high-resistance i-region formed due to the r-levels over compensation are analyzed. In the case of trapping: a) the nonequilibrium charge carriers lifetimes (tau) n does not equal (tau) p and the electron filing function fn of r-levels are space- dependent; b) for injected carriers the potential wells separated by barriers are formed near then- and p-regions. An analysis of the corresponding recombination statistics gives a complicated shape of the I-V-curve, with a section where the ideality coefficient v varies in the 1 < v 2 divided by 4 ranges. Nonequilibrium charge carriers tunneling through the barriers is possible at low temperatures.","PeriodicalId":276773,"journal":{"name":"Material Science and Material Properties for Infrared Optics","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116192948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
