Asymmetry parameters of the electric field gradient tensor at (75) As nuclei were determined for chalcogenide glassy semiconductors (CGS) of the Ge-As-Se system by comparing the experimental and simulated (75) As nuclear quadrupole resonance nutation interferograms. The electric field gradient asymmetry in CGS was analyzed, and it is believed that a structural change in these glassy semiconductors takes place at r¯ =  2.425. Electron paramagnetic resonance spectra of the Ge-As-Se system were obtained for the first time. A comparison was made between the results of analysis of the Ge-As-Se system by nuclear quadrupole resonance and electron paramagnetic resonance methods, and this allowed us to make the supposition that a structural phase transition occurs at r¯ = 2.4 from two-dimensional to three-dimensional CGS structure.

The application of As-Se chalcogenide glasses in high-power laser delivery is hindered by their low damage threshold due to their weak chemical bonds. To solve this, we introduced germanium elements into the As-Se glasses and optimized the composition to raise the glass transition temperature (T) and enhance the laser damage threshold (LDT). From the correlation among various parameters including T, LDT, and fiber loss, we concluded an optimized composition of GeAsSe/GeAsSe glass.

Combining metallic and ceramic properties, and as precursors for MXenes, MAX phases have attracted extensive attention. In recent years, A-element substitution has been demonstrated as an effective scheme to enrich the MAX family. To explore more possible MAX members, the structural, mechanical, and electronic properties and stabilities of 31 TiAC (A = Al, Si, P, S, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Ge, As, Se, Ru, Rh, Pd, Ag, Cd, In, Sn, Sb, Te, Os, Ir, Pt, Au, Hg, TI, Pb, Bi, and Po) configurations are investigated in this work.

The structure of Ge20SbxSe80-x (x = 5, 15, 20) glasses was investigated by neutron diffraction, X-ray diffraction, and extended X-ray fine structure measurements at the Ge, Sb, and Se K-edges. For each composition, large-scale structural models were obtained by fitting simultaneously the experimental data sets in the framework of the reverse Monte Carlo simulation technique. It was found that the structures of these glasses can be described mostly by the chemically ordered network model.

Structural origin of fragility in Ge-As-S glasses investigated by calorimetry and Raman spectroscopy.

The fragility index (m) of a series of Ge-As-S glasses covering a wide range of mean coordination (⟨r⟩) and stoichiometry is measured by differential scanning calorimetry. The evolution of the fragility index appears to be better predicted by the stoichiometry than the mean coordination, and m shows a well-defined dependence on the departure from stoichiometry quantified as the at. % excess or deficiency in sulfur.

The structural relaxation properties of 34 compositions of Ge-As-Se glass forming liquids are investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The fragility index (m) and activation energies for enthalpy relaxation (Ea) exhibit universal trends with respect to stoichiometry and mean coordination (⟨r⟩), respectively. The liquid fragility which defines the full temperature dependence of the relaxation processes shows no well defined trend with respect to ⟨r⟩ but instead is found to be closely determined by the excess or deficiency in selenium with respect to stoichiometry.
