“…In recent years, there is much interest in the preparation and characterization of chalcogenide thin films because of their potential applications in the various fields [1][2][3][4]. Semiconducting chalcogenide glasses have been studied since the 60s of the last century and have reached now the stage of practical applications in several technological fields because of their promising properties which make them useful as materials for infrared optical fibers, recording layer materials in optical phase change technique, optoelectronic circuits, magnetic sensors and more recently in the development of ovonic unified memory [5][6][7].…”
