Description
Electron microscope is used to characterize the types of thermally induced transformations which occur in the chalcogenide glasses Si20 Te40 As30 Ge10 Si12 Te48 As30 Ge10 and Si10 Te50 As30 Ge10. Beam heating in the electron microscope was used to observe directly the thermally induced transformations in amorphous thin films. A solid-fluid transition (softening) was observed in all compositions. Experimental evidence indicated that crystallization can be induced in the three compositions. No response to gamma radiation (up to 500 KGy) was observed in the structure of these compositions. 8 figs
