Abstract

Bulk sample of Ge17Se74Sb9 alloy was prepared using melt-quench technique. Thin film of the alloy was deposited using thermal evaporation. Thin film was characterized by x-ray diffraction and current-voltage measurements were obtained at different temperatures ranging from 298K to 348K at a step of 5K using an electrometer and were found to be ohmic in nature. The temperature and voltage dependence of resistivity of thin film has been studied.
