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 …

The time-dependent variation in the physical properties is one of the most interesting and
mysterious behaviors of melt-quenched disordered solids (like polymer glasses, metallic …

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 …

Solution-based chalcogenide glass films, traditionally deposited by spin-coating, are
attractive for their potential use in chip-based devices operating in the mid-infrared and for …

Diffusion mass transfer in thin chalcogenide films under illumination by a focused Gaussian
beam have been studied both experimentally and theoretically. It is demonstrated that …

Photoresponsive materials that adapt their morphologies, growth directions, and growth
rates dynamically in response to the local incident electromagnetic field would provide a …

Under irradiation of amorphous As x Se 100− x films by band-gap light, it was observed that
lateral mass transport of the film material change the direction of movement in the region …

Surface relief gratings produced on a surface of amorphous chalcogenide films As20Se80
are flatten at room temperature under illumination by a near-bandgap polarized light (λ …

Physical aging induced by an exposure of As–Se, As–S, and Ge–Se glasses to the light of
different discrete wavelengths is studied using differential scanning calorimetry technique …

This work demonstrates the fabrication of chalcogenide microstructures such as gratings,
lenses and needles using a lithographically directed, evaporative self-organization of …
