Ge-Se (Germanium-Selenium)
A.B. Gokhale and G.J. Abbaschian
The assessed Ge-Se phase diagram is based primarily on the work of [82Ips],
with review of the experimental data of [62Liu], [65Dem], [68Kar], [68Vin], [
69Ros], [72Que], and [84Gla]. [82Ips] is considered to be the most reliable
source because of the thoroughness of the investigation and the wide range of
compositions investigated. The system is characterized by a monotectic at 904
C and ~11.5 at.% Se, with the limit of liquid immiscibility extending to 40
at.% Se; a nearly stoichiometric intermediate phase, GeSe, which forms
peritectically at 675 C and transforms polymorphically from cubic to a low-
temperature orthorhombic structure between 666 and 647 C; a stoichiometric
intermediate phase, GeSe2, with a monoclinic structure and congruent melting
point at 742 C; and a eutectic between aGeSe and GeSe2 at 583 C and a 56 at.%
Se, and another between GeSe2 and (Se) at 212 C and 92 at.% Se.
The eutectic between GeSe2 and (Se) is indicated at 92 at.% Se based on the
data of [65Dem] and [68Vin] instead of the 94.5 at.% Se composition of [82Ips].
[82Ips] noted that because of its steepness, the GeSe2 liquidus on the Se-
rich side could not be determined accurately. Consequently, the extrapolation
of their liquidus to the eutectic isotherm may be somewhat inaccurate.
Furthermore, the data of [65Dem] and [68Vin] are supported by the observation
that the 92 at.% Se composition exhibits a very strong tendency towards glass
formation [76Pol, 78Esq].
The liquidus is reliably established except for the boundaries of the
miscibility gap. According to [69Ros], the miscibility gap boundaries could
not be determined due to very weak thermal effects associated with liquid
separation.
Based on the Hall coefficient measurements as a function of temperature, [
59Tyl] indicted the solubility of Se in (Ge) to be retrograde and on the order
of 1.13 x 10-8 at.%. The solubility of Ge in (Se) has not been measured, but
is likely to be very small.
GeSe transforms allotropically from cubic to a low-temperature orthorhombic
modification. [82Ips] indicated the allotropic transformations at 666 с 4 C
and 647 с 4 C on the Ge-rich and Se-rich sides, respectively. The latter,
however, speculatively included a small (0.5 at.% Se) compositional difference
between a and b forms, with a decomposition of bGeSe through an inverse
peritectic reaction. In this evaluation, a homogeneity range of 0.5 at.% is
indicated for GeSe following [68Kar].
The P-T-X equilibria in Ge-Se were determined by [70Kar] using the quartz null-
manometer diaphragm method. [70Kar] determined the total pressure, with a
claimed accuracy of с1 mm Hg as a function of temperature for the S-L-G three-
phase equilibria in the range 20 to 70 at.% Se.
Se-rich Ge-Se alloys show a strong tendency towards glass formation. The most
common methods of preparing amorphous alloys appear to be thermal sputtering
on unheated substrates or quenching liquid alloys in ice-water mixture.
Substrates heated to 300 C have been reported to lead to a crystalline
matrix [70Gos].
The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the amorphous alloys increases
monotonically from approximately 40 to 400 C with increasing Ge content in
the range 0 to 33 at.% Ge [65Dem, 76Ber, 77Bor, 78Esq]. [77Bor] also measured
the crystallization temperatures (Tr) of amorphous Ge-Se alloys. Their data
indicated a monotectic increase in Tr from86 to 490 C in the range 0 to 33 at.
% Ge. [77Bor] did not detect a Tr for the Ge-90 at.% Se alloy; this
composition, close to the eutectic at 92 at.% Se, apparently transforms from
the amorphous state directly into liquid without intermediate crystallization.
According to [76Pol], the short-range order in amorphous Ge0.09Se0.91 is
essentially the same as that of its liquid.
According to [65Dem] and [78Esq], the eutectic composition (92 at.% Se) is the
most stable glass former. Upon crystallization, the conductivity of amorphous
GeSe was reported to increase irreversibly by a factor of 2 to 3 [72Zak].
The short-range order in amorphous Ge-Se alloys has been deducted from radial
distribution functions derived by Fourier transformation of diffraction data [
72Faw, 73Pol, 74Mol, 74Uem, 76Pol]. The results indicated a monotonic increase
in the coordination number (CN) from 2.4 (Se) to 4.0 (Ge). [72Faw] explained
the results on the basis of a random covalent bond model assuming that the
local valence requirements are satisfied in the whole composition range. [
74Uem] additionally found a singularity in CN at 33 at.% Ge, indicating a
similarity in the short-range order of amorphous and crystalline GeSe2. In
contrast, the amorphous structure of GeSe is considerably distorted
with respect to its crystalline counterpart [73Pol, 74Uem]. [80Kaw]
indicated a monotonic increase in the band gap of amorphous alloys in the
range 0 to 33 at.% Ge, with a maximum of ~5 eV at GeSe2; the band gap
decreases sharply between 40 and 50 at.% Se.
