Summary
Raman spectroscopy reveals that potassium ions (K+) interact with gallium sulfide (Ga2S3) and potassium chloride (KCl) in GeS2-Ga2S3-KCl glasses, forming new GaS3/2 Cl units and dispersing homogeneously within the network.
Area of Science:
- Materials Science
- Solid State Chemistry
- Spectroscopy
Context:
- Investigating the structural properties of pseudo-ternary chalcogenide glasses.
- Understanding the role of alkali halides in modifying glass networks.
