Physical properties and thermal behavior of solution-processed and thermally evaporated chalcogenide thin films: Low-cost materials for IR optics

The project focuses on studying physical properties and thermal behavior in amorphous chalcogenide thin films prepared by solution processing and thermal evaporation. Amorphous chalcogenide thin films are widely used in practical applications, especially in infrared optics and optoelectronics. The knowledge of physical properties and thermal behavior is necessary for their preparation, processing, and application in practice. Also, a proper description of crystallization behavior and its prediction is essential for these materials' long-term stability and utilization.
