This document summarizes research on the electrical behavior of chalcogenide glass thin films with varying composition and thickness. Key findings include:
1) The electrical activation energy and conductivity decreases as the thickness and selenium content of Ge-As-Se-Te films increases.
2) The density of the films increases with higher selenium content and thickness.
3) The pre-exponential factor and activation energy of the films follow a compensation law relationship.
4) Calculations of properties like coordination number, heat of atomization, and cohesive energy help explain trends in the electrical behavior with composition.
