Quaternary TeGeBiSb amorphous films, 100 nm in thickness, were prepared by rf sputtering onto either a Si (100) or polycarbonate substrate. Crystalline films were obtained by subsequent annealing at 300 °C for 10 min. At least two phases with hexagonal and rhombohedral structures were identified by x-ray diffractometry in the quaternary system. Their compositions are close to formulas Te5Ge4Bi4Sb and Te5Ge4Bi7Sb, with c/a ratios of 5.5 and 9.4, respectively. The Te5Ge4Bi4Sb film shows a reasonable reflectivity contrast ranging from 20% to 25% in the whole visible spectrum, while the reflectivity contrast of Te5Ge4Bi7Sb film shows a sharp lowering tendency with decreasing wavelength and turns negative at wavelengths smaller than 470 nm. Results of thermal analyses show that the films crystallize at around 236–266 °C with corresponding activation energies 2.67–2.88 eV. The change in reflectivity contrast is explained based on the variation in optical band gaps of the TeGeBiSb materials with either Bi conten...
