In this paper, attributes of chalcogenide glass (ChG) based integrated devices are discussed in detail, including origins of optical loss and processing steps used to reduce their contributions to optical component performance. Specifically, efforts to reduce loss and tailor optical characteristics of planar devices utilizing solution-based glass processing and thermal reflow techniques are pre...

NEW APPROACHES TO CHALCOGENIDE MATERIALS FORTHERMOELECTRICS: LEAD TELLURIDE-BASED NANOSTRUCTURES ANDFACILE SYNTHESIS OF TETRAHEDRITE AND DOPED DERIVATIVES

We demonstrate how the radiat performance of Ag-chalcogenide glass r fabricated on a flexible substrate can b modifications of spacing between electrodes.

Metal chalcogenide thin films are assuming increasing interest in a variety of optical and optoelectronic devices viz. decorative coatings, solar absorbers, photo-detectors, and solar cells including recent photoelectrochemical solar cells [1-5]. Attempts were made to deposit a variety of metal chalcogenide thin films employing various deposition technologies individually [1,4,5,611] and very r...

The focus of this work is on the formation of a lithography-free redox conductive bridge memristor array, comprised of different compositions of GexSe1−x chalcogenide glasses with the aim of selecting the chalcogenide material that provides the best performance. Various memristive arrays were fabricated on a metal–chalcogenide–metal stack. This structure offers high device density with the simp...

The reaction of metal carbonyl compounds with group 6 and 8 metallaboranes led us to report the synthesis and structural characterization of several novel mixed-metal chalcogenide tetrahedral clusters. Thermolysis of arachno-[(Cp*RuCO)2B2H6], 1, and [Os3(CO)12] in the presence of 2-methylthiophene yielded [Cp*Ru(CO)2(μ-H){Os3(CO)9}S], 3, and [Cp*Ru(μ-H){Os3(CO)11}], 4. In a similar fashion, the...

A new type of microstructured fiber for mid-infrared light is introduced. The chalcogenide glass-based microporous fiber allows extensive dispersion engineering that enables design of flattened waveguide dispersion windows and multiple zero-dispersion points - either blue-shifted or red-shifted from the bulk material zero-dispersion point - including the spectral region of CO(2) laser lines app...
