Preparation of ternary spin-coated thin films by mixing binary As-S and As-Se glass solutions

Optical and chemical properties of As–Se and As–S–Se solution processed thin films prepared via As50Se50 source solution modification

“…On the other hand, a higher sulfur content significantly reduces thin film chemical resistance due to the lower chemical resistance of As–S glasses compared to that of As–Se glasses. 44 For this reason, the chemical resistance does not change significantly with initial sulfur addition, until the thin films reach stoichiometry (As 40 S 20 Se 40 ). With further sulfur addition, the thin films possessed a significantly reduced chemical resistance, because of both the overstoichiometry and the high sulfur content.…”

Solution processed multi-layered thin films of Ge20Sb5S75 and Ge20Sb5Se75 chalcogenide glasses

“…using the same solvent mixture MeOH-PrNH 2 , hard-bake temperature 210 °C and evaluation of optical properties as a double layered thin film with bottom and top sub-layer). Our previous works 21 , 22 demonstrated the possibility of altering (tailoring) of the thin films optical properties by mixing solutions of two different chalcogenide glasses with different optical properties. Thin films prepared from mixed solutions then showed linear combinations of optical properties of the two source glasses.…”

“…The doping of the source glass solution by silver has also been intensively studied 17 , 18 due to significant changes in physical and chemical properties, which silver induces when introduced to the glass structure 19 , 20 . Furthermore, solutions of different chalcogenide glasses can often be mixed together, providing a source solution of complex composition from simple (binary or ternary) glasses 21 , 22 . The structure of the prepared thin film can be influenced by the introduction of nanostructures of different materials (e.g.…”
