This book provides a comprehensive overview of the chalcogenide glass science and
various applications based on the glasses. It starts with a review on the glass-forming ability …

An amorphous-to-crystal transition in phase-change materials like Ge–Sb–Te is widely used
for data storage. The basic principle is to take advantage of the property contrast between …

A review of recent progress in optical recording of surface relief structures in the films of two
classes of photoresponsive non-crystalline materials (azobenzene-containing polymers and …

Subnanosecond time-resolved x-ray absorption measurements have been used to probe
dynamical changes in the local structure about Ge atoms in the phase-change alloy Ge 2 Sb …

Phase-change memories (PCM) are associated with reversible ultra-fast low-energy crystal-
to-amorphous switching in GeTe-based alloys co-existing with the high stability of the two …

Mechanical metamaterials are often designed with particular properties for specific load‐
bearing functions. Alternatively, this study aims to create a class of active lattice …

The structural, vibrational, electronic, and dynamic properties of amorphous and liquid As x
Se 1-x (0.10< x< 0.45) are studied by First Principles Molecular Dynamics. Within the above …

Surface relief gratings formation in amorphous selenium thin films in two recording
configurations with light intensity modulation were studied in situ by real-time atomic force …

We present direct measurements of the kinetics of surface relief gratings (SRGs) formation in
amorphous As x Se 100− x (20≤ x As≤ 50) thin films. SRGs are induced in different …

We report on large-surface-area micro-patterning of a bulk chalcogenide glass by a PDMS
soft mould. Micrometre-scale (width~ 4μm and depth~ 0.8 μm) test patterns such as ribs …
