Abstract

Chalcogenide glasses present a unique opportunity for the study of the effect of dimensionality of the properties of amorphous systems. Presented here are preliminary results of experiments on fibers of these materials. Strength in these fibers is related both to dimensionality, which is a continuously variable function of composition and to drawing conditions, which produce ordering. A simple theoretical model for the ordering effect is proposed and discussed.
