New research conducted by scientists at Duke University has demonstrated how the use of chalcogenide glasses could be developed into a wider range of applications, including underwater communications, ...

Chalcogenide glass is widely used today in a number of specialist optics applications. Recent experiments with adding silver to the glass-forming materials that make chalcogenide glass have revealed ...

Chalcogenide RAM, made of the Ge2Sb2Te5 materials, has recently been regarded as the most promising next-generation memory. (Ge is germanium, Sb is antimony and Te is tellurium.) With a name derived ...

Chalcogenide glasses represent a versatile class of amorphous materials that incorporate one or more chalcogen elements—typically sulphur, selenium or tellurium—in combination with network formers ...

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6—Recent progress in chalcogenide glass photonics has been driven by scientific and technological challenges in a variety of areas. These range from increased demand for bandwidth in ...

According to new research, metal chalcogenide perovskites can be used as a thermoelectric material than can convert thermal energy from the sun to usable electric power. These materials, which can ...

The result: a solar cell efficiency of 11.02% recorded during laboratory testing, with an independently certified result of ...

Chalcogenide glass, made from sulfur, selenium, and tellurium, is ideal for infrared applications due to its superior infrared transmission, high refractive index, and exceptional nonlinearity. It ...

CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor) technology can be found in most all modern electronic devices—microcontrollers, microprocessors, and static RAM in both digital and analog form. We use ...

Nanoclusters, which consist of several or even thousands of atoms, represent an important intermediate state between microscopic atoms and macroscopic matter. A profound comprehension of the ...

A metasurface made of arsenic trisulphide nanowires (yellow) transmits an incoming near-infrared frequency (red) as well as its third harmonic ultraviolet frequency (violet), which would normally be ...
