Popis: The atomic structure of Si xX1-x (X=S,Se) glasses is investigated with the combined use of Infrared and high resolution Raman spectroscopy. These measurements permit a careful analysis of the various vibrational modes and the evaluation of structural models for the glasses. Glassy SiX2 alloys are composed of both chains of edge-sharing tetrahedral units and corner-sharing units in which the Si atoms are four-fold coordinated to X atoms and the X atoms are two-fold coordinated to Si atoms. These edge-sharing and corner-sharing tetrahedral units are also present throughout the glass forming range. In the entire composition range studied (0.05 l/3) and is identified as ethane-like X3-Si-Si-X3 units. The combined use of infrared and Raman spectroscopies provides the strongest evidence to date for the presence of extensive short and medium range order in the Si-chalcogenide glasses.
