Abstract :
GexSb40-xS60 thin films are studied by means of spectrophotometry in the light wavelength region of 0.5-2.5 μm. The refractive index value were determined from the transmission spectra. The dispersion parameters E0 and Ed were evaluated and considered in term of the average coordination number Z. The compositional dependences exhibit a peculiarity around Z=2.65-2.67 which can be connected with a topological phase transition of the film structure
