Abstract :
The microhardnesses (H) of bulk glasses and thin films in the Gex-Sb40-xS60 family has been measured. The volume of the micro-voids (Vh), their formation energy (Eh) and the module of elasticity (E) have been calculated. It is assumed that the bulk glasses and thin films have different elasticity levels due to the deformation of specific chemical bonds
