If photovoltaic energy is a so-called "clean" energy, the materials used, partly rare or nondurable ores, and the production processes are less so. To overcome the rare, toxic or expensive components of solar panels, ...

The world need for data storage and processing is increasing at a rapid pace. A response to this societal demand could come from ovonic threshold switches based on chalcogenide materials, which are leading candidates for ...

The paper presents the results of studying the structure of nanosized films Ge2Sb2Te5 with silver impurity (Ge2Sb2Te5<Ag>). The films were obtained by the method of ion-plasma highfrequency magnetron sputtering. Upon ...

Amorphous As2S3 thin films have remarkable electrical and optical properties, which make them solid candidates for a variety of applications and keep up the scientific interest to study them, even after decades from the ...

SnSb2Te4, an intermetallic compounds in the pseudobinary SnTe-Sb2Te3, looks as a promising candidate for phase-change material in non-volatile memories applications. Thin films having thickness from 50 to 150 nm were ...

In this paper, an effort has been made to study the change in some thermodynamic parameters (say specific heat and Gibb’s free energy) of GeSeIn ternary chalcogenide glasses under non-isothermal conditions. Change in ...

The experimental results on the technology of As2S3 thin films and their characteristization using optical methods as a study of surface plasmon resonance (SPR), a light modulators that contains an amorphous As2S3 films ...

The known chalcogenide amorphous films are suitable materials for formation of composite diffraction structures due to their optical properties and advanced registration parameters. To obtain the multi-beam light diffraction ...

The chalcogenide glass-like semiconductors (ChGS) out perform other functional materials in their unique electronic properties used for applications [1 -2]. They are transparent in wide spectral region, have high ...

The glass system (Sb2O3)-(PbCl2)-(AgCl) is interesting due to his potential application in the infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum [1]. The (Sb2O3)y(PbCl2)y-x(AgCl)x glasses, with y = 50 mol. % or 70 mol. %, ...
