abstract = {The atomic structure and electronic and vibrational
properties of glassy Ga11Ge11Te78 have been studied by
combining density functional (DF) simulations with x-ray
(XRD) and neutron diffraction (ND), extended x-ray
absorption fine structure (EXAFS), and Raman spectroscopies.
The final DF structure (540 atoms) was refined using reverse
Monte Carlo methods to reproduce the XRD and ND data as well
as Ge and Ga K-edge EXAFS spectra, while maintaining a
semiconducting band gap and a total energy close to the DF
minimum. The local coordination of Ga is tetrahedral, while
Ge has twice as many tetrahedral as defective octahedral
configurations. The average coordination numbers are Ga,
4.1, Ge, 3.8, and Te, 2.6. The chemical bonding around Ga
involves Ga 4s, Ga 4p, Te 5s, and Te 5p orbitals, and the
bond strengths show bonding close to covalent, as in Ge.
There are fewer Te chains and cavities than in amorphous Te,
and a prepeak in the structure factor at 1.0 angstrom(-1)
indicates medium-range order of the Ga/Ge network. Density
functional calculations show that contributions of Te-Te,
Ga-Te, and Ge-Te bonds dominate the experimental Raman
spectra in the 110-150 cm(-1) range.},
