Abstract

In the present study we have discussed, how the energetic parameter (A) influences by same amount of Zinc in the two different Ge-Sb-Te glassy systems like (Ge8Sb2Te11)100−xZnx and (Ge2Sb2Te5)100−xZnx where X = 0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 25. The effect of Zn modified Ge-Sb-Te chalcogenide glasses have been studied by using bond constraint and rigidity percolation theory. By using topological theory which is exhibited by covalent network glasses, the finding results has been discussed. The optical gap diffusion of Zn modified Ge-Sb-Te glassy systems is also discussed on the basis of topological constraints theory.
