Domain microscopy in chalcogenide alloy glass thin films

We report the observation of very well resolved polygonal domain (not island) trough networks in thin glass films. The linear troughs are observed by electron microscopy to be as narrow as 30 A and the hexagonal domain diameters are as large as 1000 (± 100) A. The composition dependence of the avera...

Zusammenfassung:We report the observation of very well resolved polygonal domain (not island) trough networks in thin glass films. The linear troughs are observed by electron microscopy to be as narrow as 30 A and the hexagonal domain diameters are as large as 1000 (± 100) A. The composition dependence of the average diameters of the polygonal structures correlates well with the glass-forming tendency and agrees very well with the predictions of a recent topological model.
