Semiconductor chalcogenide glasses are used in a wide range of applications as solid-state devices, both in scientific and technological fields. In this article, the mechanism of degradation of these materials is studied. The technique was used to measure the variation of thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of samples with different exposure times to neutron irradiation. Thermal conductivity and diffusivity increases proportionally with smaller exposure time, while at higher exposure times ...
Selenium (Se) and tellurium (Te) based glasses have unique physical and chemical characteristics that can be manipulated with by the addition of metal alloys. In this study, the thermophysical properties of Se80Te20 and Se80Te10M10 (where M = cadmium (Cd), indium (In), and antimony (Sb)) chalcogenide (containing one or more S, Se, or Te) glasses are investigated to test their use in industrial applications. The transient plane source (TPS) ...
