Popis: Electrical conductivity and dielectric properties of the chalcogenides GeSe 3 , Sb 2 Se 3 , ZnSe, (GeSe 3 ) 80 (Sb 2 Se 3 ) 20 and (GeSe 3 ) 70 (Sb 2 Se 3 ) 10 (ZnSe) 20 thin films are investigated. The effect of ZnSe incorporation with both GeSe 3 , Sb 2 Se 3 results in amorphous (GeSe 3 ) 70 (Sb 2 Se 3 ) 10 (ZnSe) 20 composition as obtained from the X-ray diffraction analysis. The estimated DC activation energy, Δ E DC , in the temperature range from 300 to 373 K is found to decrease from 0.72 eV for (GeSe 3 ) 80 (Sb 2 Se 3 ) 20 to 0.65 eV for (GeSe 3 ) 70 (Sb 2 Se 3 ) 10 (ZnSe) 20 . However, the estimated AC activation energy, Δ E AC , over the same temperature range and a frequency range from 0.6 to 1000 kHz, exhibits an opposite trend as its values increase for (GeSe 3 ) 70 (Sb 2 Se 3 ) 10 (ZnSe) 20 as compared with that of (GeSe 3 ) 80 (Sb 2 Se 3 ) 20 composition. Dielectric constant, e 1 , and dielectric loss, e 2 , behaviour are investigated as well over the same ranges of temperature and frequency.
