Abstract
Raman spectra of sulfur-rich S-Ge glasses prepared under different conditions were measured. It was found that a side peak at 440 cm-1 is stronger for the slowly quenched glass than for the rapidly quenched one. This peak also becomes smaller with the rise of temperature. The intensity of this peak is discussed in relation to the medium-range order of the glassy state.
