Recent progress in the description of glassy relaxation and aging are reviewed for the wide
class of network-forming materials such as GeO 2, Ge x Se 1− x, silicates (SiO 2–Na 2 O) or …

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 …

Features intrinsic to disorder and network aspects are ubiquitous in structural glasses.
Among this important class of materials, chalcogenide glasses are special—they are built of …

The kinetics associated with the glass transition is investigated using differential scanning
calorimetry (DSC) for germanium selenide glasses with Ge content ranging from 0 to 30at …

Glass transition width W of pure Se narrows from 7.1 (3) C to 1.5 (2) C and the non-reversing
enthalpy of relaxation (⁠ Δ H nr) at T g increases from 0.23 (5) cal/g to 0.90 (5) cal/g upon …

Nanosecond scale threshold switching is investigated with conducting atomic force
microscopy (AFM) for an amorphous GeSe film. Switched bits exhibit 2–3 orders of …

Kinetics of physical aging at different temperatures is studied in situ in arsenic selenide
glasses using high-precision differential scanning calorimetry technique. A well-expressed …

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 …

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 …

Free volume redistribution, caused by structural relaxation during long-term natural physical
ageing, is revealed by positron annihilation lifetime technique for As x Se 100-x and Ge y Se …
