Surface morphology of spin-coated As–S–Se chalcogenide thin films

Fast and robust infiltration of functional material inside titania nanotube layers: case study of a chalcogenide glass sensitizer

“…It was reported by Kohoutek et al 36 that chalcogenide glass mixtures with amine solvents form nanocolloidal solutions containing 2-8 nm glass clusters over a wide concentration range (comparable with that of our experiment). Aer spin-coating (2000 rpm) and subsequent vacuum drying at 125 C for 10 hours, 37,38 the as-prepared nanotube layers were subjected to photoelectrochemical measurements.…”

Laser ablation of ternary As‐S‐Se glasses and time‐of‐flight mass spectrometric study

“…For example, chalcogenide thin films deposited on an optical glass substrate show changes in optical properties as a function of chalogenide glass irradiation 3. The surface morphology and roughness of amorphous spin‐coated As‐S‐Se chalcogenide thin films have been used for holographic recording and grating formation 6, 7. This roughness dictates the conditions of the recording wavelength and the reading out of the recorded information 8.…”

The comparison of Ag–As33S67 films prepared by thermal evaporation (TE), spin-coating (SC) and a pulsed laser deposition (PLD)

“…On the other hand, Kohoutek et al [26] have confirmed that as-deposited SC films with the thickness about 100 nm were smooth without substantial unevenness whereas the surface roughness increased under annealing at 90 1C for 1 h. The values of refractive indices decrease in order of bulk glass, TE, PLD and SC film (see Table 1). The decrease of index of refraction can be attributed to the density of prepared films.…”
