Abstract
The role of Bi in causing a transition from p-type to n-type electrical behaviour in Ge chalcogenide glasses has been studied by EXAFS. It is found that the coordination number of the Bi is 3, independent of Bi content, but that the Debye-Waller factor increases by a factor of two at the p-n transition.
