Abstract
We report the effects of thermal-annealing and light-soaking on the structure of amorphous (a-) As2S3 films. The EXAFS of near-stochiometric films were examined for as-deposited, thermally-annealed and light-soaked samples. The principle As-S feature increases slowly for spectra of all films, while a weak homopolar As-As feature decreases with both thermal-annealing and subsequent light-soaking. Slight changes are also seen in the higher shells. Our results imply that structural changes in a- As2S3 brought about by thermal-annealing and by light-soaking involve breaking, rearranging and remaking a significant fraction of the material's bonds.
