Compositional dependence of thermal stability, glass-forming ability and fragility index in some Se–Te–Sn glasses

“…To improve these properties, Te is added to Se. Se-Te glassy alloys have advantage over pure a-Se because of their higher photosensitivity, greater hardness, higher crystallization temperature and smaller ageing effect [20]. Substitution of Te by Se in Se-Te glasses breaks up the Se 8 ring structure and slightly increases the chain fraction but reduces the chain length [21].…”

Glass transition and crystallization kinetics of Inx(Se0.75Te0.25)100−x chalcogenide glasses

“…Se-In and Se-Te binary alloys have got several advantages over pure and amorphous Se [1,2]. The binary In-Se glassy alloys have drawn great attention because of their potential use in solar cells [3,4].…”

“…Amorphous Se-Te alloys have greater hardness, higher crystallization temperature, higher photosensitivity and smaller ageing effects than pure Se [1]. As these glasses have poor thermomechanical properties, in order to enlarge their domain of applications, it is necessary to increase their softening temperature and mechanical strength.…”

Electrical and switching properties of Se85Te15−xSbx (0≤x≤6at.wt%) thin films

“…The shortcoming of amorphous selenium (a-Se) for use in photographic drum such as its short life time and low sensitivity, can be overcome by the use of certain additives like Ge, Te, Bi, Sb, In, etc. The use of binary alloys has been of great interest for their greater hardiness, higher sensitivity, higher crystallization and smaller aging effect as compared to amorphous selenium [2]. Because of these advantages these alloys are nowdays preferred in various solid state devices.…”
