Thermally evaporated amorphous Ge0.1As0.3Se0.6 thin films were deposited on glass substrates afterwards an aluminum film of 100 nm thickness was deposited on top of the amorphous film. Optical absorption spectra of Ge0.1As0.3Se0.6 and Al-Ge0.1As0.3Se0.6 films were investigated at room temperature for as-deposited and light irradiated samples. Changes in optical parameters due to deposition of the Al thin layer as well as the effect of light irradiation time were explored. Absorption coefficient decreased after deposition of Al layer and then starts to increase with exposure time to light. In the photodiffusion process, two stages of metal diffusion could be distinguished. Optical energy gap generally decrease with deposition of Al thin layer and time exposure. A theoretical approach combining both photodiffusion kinetics and glass network approach was utilized to explain the photodiffusion process..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
