Abstract
Amorphous Se100-xTex powders (x = 0, 5, 10, 15 and 20) have been produced by mechanical alloying (MA). The time-of-flight neutron scattering measurement was employed in order to elucidate the short range structures for these powders. Well-resolved first peak in radial distribution functions can be decomposed into two Gaussian peaks, which correspond to the Se-Se and Se-Te correlations. The coordination number teaches us that amorphous Se has a lot of dangling bonds due to broken of Se-Se bond by milling. However, the compositional changes of the coordination numbers of Se-Se and Se-Te pairs for Se-Te powders imply that Te atoms are bonded to the edge of Se chain molecules and the twofold chain structure is built up with increasing Te content.
