Abstract
The ratio between the content of bivalent and tetravalent tin atoms in the (As2Se3)1 − z (SnSe) z − x (GeSe) x glasses depends on the rate of quenching of the alloy and on its temperature. Irradiation of these glasses with γ-ray photons brings about a partial oxidation of bivalent tin with formation of amorphous (finely divided) SnO2 phase blocked by the glass, so that the physicochemical properties of the glasses (density, microhardness, glassformation temperature, and the electrical-conductivity activation energy) are virtually unaffected by irradiation.
