“…In the last several decades, a research area based on polycrystalline chalcogenides [22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33] and their solid solutions for IR photodetectors and emitters [21][22][23][24][25][26] has been successfully developing. The optimization of technological processes is accompanied by the sensitization of materials and the creation of protective oxide shells [28][29][30][31][32] consisting of different chemical compounds, namely PbO x , PbSeO 3 , bi-and tetra-oxyselenites and oxyselenates (2PbO•PbSeO 3 , 4PbO•PbSeO 3 ) [29].…”
