| contents | The structure of evaporated amorphous Ge$_x$Sb$_x$Te$_{100-2x}$ ($x =$ 6, 9, 13) alloys was investigated by neutron diffraction, X-ray diffraction and extended X-ray absorption spectroscopy (EXAFS) at the Ge, Sb and Te K-edges. Large scale structural models were generated by fitting the experimental datasets (5 for each composition) simultaneously in the framework of the reverse Monte Carlo simulation technique. It was found that the alloys are chemically ordered (Ge and Sb have predominantly Te neighbors) and within the experimental uncertainty each component satisfies the $8-N$ rule. A comparison with the pair correlation functions of melt quenched Ge$_{20}$Te$_{80}$ revealed that the first minimum of $g_{\mathrm{TeTe}}(r)$ is shallower in the ternary alloys than in Ge$_{20}$Te$_{80}$. On the other hand, the separation of the first and second coordination environments of Ge atoms is stronger in the Ge-Sb-Te alloys investigated. |
