Chalcogenide phase change materials (PCMs) are truly remarkable compounds whose
unique switchable optical and electronic properties have fueled an explosion of emerging …

Materials that exhibit large and rapid switching of their optical properties in the visible
spectrum hold the key to color-changing devices. Antimony trisulfide (Sb2S3) is a …

Herein, we present the novel synthesis of tetrahedrite copper antimony sulfide (CAS)
nanocrystals (Cu12Sb4S13), which display strong absorptions in the visible and NIR …

It is well-known that the mining industry in Chile and the world is searching for eco-friendly,
highly efficient mineral treatments. This is because the content of toxic elements such as …

Photoinduced transformation/degradation of stibnite (Sb 2 S 3) by the use of micro-Raman
spectroscopy was explained. The transformation products were compared with those …

Gold recovery from refractory gold ores with controlled roasting remained well below 80%.
Na 2 SO 4 was added in an O 2-enriched single stage roasting of a refractory gold ore to …

Glass is usually opacified by small crystalline particles, called opacifiers, dispersed in the
translucent vitreous matrix. To understand the glassmaking conditions used to produce …

During the 18th Egyptian dynasty (1570–1292 BC), opaque white, blue and turquoise
glasses were opacified by calcium antimonate crystals dispersed in a vitreous matrix. The …

The search for earth-abundant and non-toxic elements is essential for the manufacture of
sustainable optical devices. In this context, dilute magnetic semiconductor (DMS) xMn …

This work investigated the reaction mechanism of Sb in copper smelting process. The
difference of multi-phase distribution of Sb in four typical copper smelting processes was …
