%0 Journal Article %T On the Temperature Behaviour of Optical Transmission Spectra of gamma-Modified Vitreous As2S3 %A Golovchak R.Ya. %A Shpotyuk O.I. %A Boyko V.T. %A Zurawska A. %J Ukrainian Journal of Physical Optics %D 2006 %I Institute of Physical Optics %X Temperature behaviour of the optical transmission of gamma-irradiated vitreous v-As2S3 is studied for the first time in the absorption edge region. It is shown that temperature dependences of the main transmission characteristics are different for gamma-irradiated and non-irradiated glasses. The difference is associated with the existence of specific coordination topological defects appearing in the As2S3 network due to gamma-irradiation. %K chalcogenide glass %K gamma-irradiation %K optical transmission %K temperature behaviour %U http://www.ifo.lviv.ua/journal/UJPO_PDF/2006_1/0301_2006.pdf
