Photo-induced fluidity of chalcogenide glasses

We present a model which might explain the photo-induced fluidity in chalcogenide glasses discovered recently by Hisakuni and Tanaka. We predict that this phenomenon should occur even at very low temperatures. The basic elements of our model are recombination-induced atomic motions and bond charges...

Zusammenfassung:	We present a model which might explain the photo-induced fluidity in chalcogenide glasses discovered recently by Hisakuni and Tanaka. We predict that this phenomenon should occur even at very low temperatures. The basic elements of our model are recombination-induced atomic motions and bond charges which also cause a variety of other reversible and irreversible photostructural changes in chalcogenide glasses.
