Abstract

Eff€ect of electron-induced anisotropy was observed in glassy As₂S₃-based samples irradiated by accelerated electrons (E=ˆ2.8 MeV) in the perpendicular plane to the probe light. Spectral and compositional dependences of this e€ffect and its time stability at room temperature were discussed. It was supposed that the microstructural mechanism of the anisotropy eff€ect was connected with electron-induced formation of new oriented (relatively to the electron flow) defects in the form of broken chemical bonds.
