This study measures the thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and specific heat of selenium-tellurium-tin alloys at room temperature. Selenium-tin alloys have high photosensitivity, higher crystallization temperature and smaller aging effects then just selenium. However, without an extra element to act as a chemical modifier limited reversibility and low glass transmission are issues. The researchers hope that the addition of tin will produce an improved alloy. Investigations showed that there were structural ...
