Structural assignments of NMR chemical shifts in GexSe1-x glasses via first-principles calculations for GeSe2, Ge4Se9, and GeSe crystals
Structural assignments are determined for 77Se and 73Ge chemical shifts through density-functional NMR calculations for GeSe2, Ge4 Se9, and GeSe crystals. In particular, a very good agreement between calculated and measured 77Se isotropic chemical shifts and anisotropies is found for the GeSe2 cryst...

| Summary: | Structural assignments are determined for 77Se and 73Ge chemical shifts through density-functional NMR calculations for GeSe2, Ge4 Se9, and GeSe crystals. In particular, a very good agreement between calculated and measured 77Se isotropic chemical shifts and anisotropies is found for the GeSe2 crystal, for which experimental data are available. These assignments provide a consistent interpretation of experimental 77Se spectra of Gex Se1-x glasses, indicating that the contribution from Ge-Se-Se linkages overlaps with that from Ge-Se-Ge linkages in corner-sharing tetrahedral arrangements, thereby dismissing the occurrence of a bimodal phase. © 2010 The American Physical Society. |
