Abstract
Raman spectra of samples on three serials within GeS2-In2S3-CsI pseudo-ternary system were probed systematically in
this paper. XRD patterns and Raman spectra of Sample A (1/3In2S3·2/3CsI) and B (1/3InS·2/3CsI) reveal that InS4-xIx new
structural units are easily formed. The Raman spectrum of Sample B further indicates that bridged units In2S6-xIx (x≥2) are
preferentially formed when two tetrahedra InS4-xIx (x≥1) meet. The added Cs+
ions are coordinated as I-
anions for their
nearest neighbors which play the role of charge balance of InS4-xIx tetrahedra. Based on this micro-structural model,
Raman spectral evolution of GeS2-In2S3-CsI glasses was reasonably explained.
