Abstract

In the present study, tellurium-rich (45�55 mol) As-Se-Te chalcogenide glasses were synthesized and purified further to eliminate the impurities for achieving extended far infrared transmission. The glasses were characterized and studied for physical, thermal, optical, structural and mechanical properties. All the glasses have shown transparency in the wavelength range of �1.6�19 µm, with >45 transmission with impurities. The purification process through vacuum distillation has eliminated the oxide impurities in the glass and the glass displayed �52 T in the wide infrared region. The refractive index for purified glass decreased from 3.487 at 2 µm to 3.362 at 10 µm. The purified glass was heat treated for four hours, and the most dominant crystal phase, As2Te3 was observed in XRD analysis. Presence of sharp Raman peak at �120 cm�1 belonging to As2Te3 pyramids in heat-treated sample well agreed with the XRD results. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.
