Abstract

The paper describes the results of the studies of the effect of silver incorporation degree in newly synthesised Ag_x(As₂S₃)_1-_x (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.2) glasses on their optical absorption edge, bandgap energy, and refractive index dispersion in the visible and near-infrared range. The obtained experimental dependences are analysed using a single-oscillator Wemple–DiDomenico model. The optical bandgap energy as well as the single oscillator energy is shown to decrease with the Ag content in the glass while the dispersion energy increases and the bond ionicity degree remains practically unchanged.
