Two valence states of tin atoms are identified by Moessbauer and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy in (As{sub 2}Se{sub 3}){sub 1-z}(GeSe){sub z-x}(SnSe){sub x} glasses; it is shown that the presence of bivalent tin in the structural network of a glass does not give rise to impurity conductivity and impurity optical absorption. It is suggested to regard (As{sub 2}Se{sub 3}){sub 1-z}(GeSe){sub z-x}(SnSe){sub x} and (As{sub 2}Se{sub 3}){sub 1-z}(GeSe{sub 2}){sub z-x}(SnSe{sub 2}){sub x} glasses as semiconductor solid solutions whose electrical properties depend both on the electrical properties of the starting components and on the composition of the solid solutions.
