Abstract
The pressure dependences of microstructure, volume and optical absorption edge of amorphous As have been studied. The results indicate that amorphous As is more similar to chalcogenide glasses than to amorphous, tetrahedrally bonded materials. The strong red-shift of the optical absorption edge can be ascribed to enhanced interactions between distorted layer clusters via the back-bonds.
