  • Beschreibung: <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>The kinetics of photo‐darkening of amorphous As<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>S<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> and a‐As<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>Se<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> thin films follows a single exponential, but the magnitude and the rate of the process is higher in case of As<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>S<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>. The kinetics of self‐bleaching (dark relaxation) in advance photo‐darkened state follows a stretched exponential (SRE) with different stretching parameter for a‐As<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>S<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> and a‐As<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>Se<jats:sub>3</jats:sub>. Within the J. C. Phillips approach we suppose that photo‐darkening in amorphous As<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>S<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> films is, to some extent, accompanied by changes in short‐range order interactions, while photo‐darkening of amorphous As<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>Se<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> is accompanied rather by changes in Coulomb interactions. The self‐bleaching process reduced the magnitude of photo‐darkening up to 45% and 60% for amorphous As<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>S<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> and As<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>Se<jats:sub>3</jats:sub> films, respectively.
