The invention resides in a molecular, inorganic glass and a method of making the glass, the glass being vitreous and resistant to devitrification, that is composed, in substantial part at least, of thermally-stable, zero-dimensional clusters or molecules, composed of four atoms of arsenic and three atoms of sulfur, the glass further containing up to 12 atomic percent of germanium, adjoining clusters being bonded to each other primarily by van der Waals forces, and at least 95% of the glass composition consisting of 42-60% arsenic, 37-48% sulfur plus selenium, the selenium being 0-14%.

1. A molecular, inorganic glass that is resistant to devitrification, that is composed in substantial part at least, of thermally-stable, zero-dimensional clusters, each cluster composed of four atoms of arsenic and three atoms of sulfur, adjoining clusters being bonded to each other primarily by van der Waals forces, and wherein at least 95% of the glass composition consists essentially of, in atomic percent, 42-60% arsenic, 37-48% sulfur plus selenium, the selenium being 0-14%, and optionally up to 12 atomic percent germanium. 2. A molecular, inorganic glass in accordance with claim 1 that has a Tg not over 100° C. and that consists essentially of 46-60% arsenic, 39-48% sulfur plus selenium, the selenium being 0-14%, and up to 6% germanium. 3. A molecular, inorganic glass in accordance with claim 2 that consists essentially of 48-54% As, 44.5-47.5% S and 1.5-4.5% Ge. 4. A molecular, inorganic glass in accordance with claim 1 that has a Tg greater than 100° C., and that consists essentially of 42-60% arsenic, 37-48% sulfur plus selenium, wherein the selenium content is 0-14%, and the germanium content is 5-12%. 5. A molecular, inorganic glass in accordance with claim 1 which optionally contains not over 5% tellurium (Te), not over 2% tin (Sn), not over 5% antimony (Sb) and not over 2.5% phosphorus (P), the total content of these optional components not exceeding 5%. 6. A method of producing a thermally-stable, devitrification-resistant, As-S glass that is composed, in part at least, of zero-dimensional clusters composed of four atoms of arsenic and three atoms of sulfur, the method comprising forming a mixture of, in terms of atomic percent, 42-60% arsenic, 37-48% sulfur plus selenium wherein the selenium is 0-14% and the sulfur up to 48%, and, optionally, up to 12% germanium, and melting the mixture to form a devitrification-resistant, inorganic glass melt. 7. A method in accordance with claim 6 which comprises forming a mixture of 46-60% arsenic, 39-48% sulfur plus selenium, the selenium being 0-14%, and up to 6% germanium. 8. A method in accordance with claim 7 which comprises forming a mixture of 48-54% As, 44.5-47.5% S and 1.5-4.5% Ge. 9. A method in accordance with claim 6 which comprises forming a mixture of 42-60% arsenic, 37-48% sulfur plus selenium, where the selenium is 0-14% of the mix, and the germanium content is 5-12%. 10. A method in accordance with claim 6 which comprises optionally including in the mixture not over 5% tellurium (Te), not over 2% tin (Sn), not over 5% antimony (Sb) and not over 2.5% phosphorus (P), the total content of these optional components not exceeding 5%.
