Abstract

The structure of mercury-modified amorphous films of the Se-Sb system was studied using the methods of X-ray diffractometry and Raman spectroscopy. It was ascertained that the structure of the phase that formed in the amorphous matrix of the films after their exposure in mercury vapor corresponds to the structure of crystalline mercury selenide in cubic modification.

The structure of nominally pure and mercury-modified amorphous Se₁₀₀Sb_x films (x = 3, 5, 7, 9) was investigated using X-ray diffractometry and Raman spectroscopy. It is shown that the matrix of nominally pure films is built mainly by elements of Se₈ rings and Se_n helical chains and contains a certain number of SbSe_3/2 structural groups. Exposure of the films in mercury vapor leads to formation of mercury selenide (HgSe) crystalline inclusions in the cubic modification in their near-surface layers, as well as to the activation of the process of formation and growth of Se crystalline inclusions of the trigonal modification in the film bulk.
