The structure, fundamental absorption edge, d. c. and a. c. conductivity and photoconductivity for Sb-S glasses have been studied. The optical band gap values have been found to be in the range of 1.52-1.76eV. Structure of monophase SbxS1-x glasses (0.35 =< x =< 0.45) is predominantly determined by SbS3 structural units, linked with two-fold coordinated sulfur atoms. Under the direct current the delocalized state conductivity prevails in the investigated materials. The sw(T) and sw(w) dependences have been interpreted within the framework of the model of the charged defect centres (D–, D0, D+ and accounted for the combined jumping charge transfer by bipolarons and polarons between these centres. Photosensitivity of SbxS1-x glasses lies in 500 - 1200 nm spectral range. The highest photosensitivity is inherent in the glassy Sb2S3. The nature of the peaks in the photoconductivity spectra for the glasses has been ascertained.

Keywords: absorption edge, short-range order, conductivity, photoconductivity.
