In high purity -doped selenide glass pumped by a 4.08 µm Fe:ZnSe laser, 5.1-5.5 µm laser oscillations were observed. This is the first evidence of laser action corresponding to the → transition of ions.

Dichalcogenoimidodiphosphinate complexes of zinc [Zn{(EPPr)N}], [E=Se,Se; S,Se] were synthesized through metathetical reactions from the dichalcogenoimidodiphosphinate ligands [(EE'PPrNH)] (E, E'=Se, Se; S, Se). These complexes were characterized and used as single-source precursors through Aerosol-Assisted Chemical Vapour Deposition (AACVD) for the deposition of cubic zinc selenide (ZnSe) films on glass substrates. The deposition temperature occurred at 500 and 525 °C, while the flow rates of the carrier gas was 160 and 240 standard cubic centimetre (sccm).

A series of quaternary selenides, NaGaSe ( = Mn, Fe, and mixed Zn/Fe), have been synthesized for the first time employing a high-temperature solid-state synthesis route through stochiometric or polychalcogenide flux reactions. Along with the selenides, a previously reported sulfide analogue, NaFeGaS, is also revisited with new findings. These compounds form an interpenetrated structure made up of a supertetrahedral unit.

In addition to long-range periodicity, local disorder, with local structures deviating from the average lattice structure, dominates the physical properties of phonons, electrons, and spin subsystems in crystalline functional materials. Experimentally characterizing the 3D atomic configuration of such a local disorder and correlating it with advanced functions remains challenging. Using a combination of femtosecond electron diffraction, structure factor calculations, and time-dependent density functional theory molecular dynamics simulations, the static local disorder and its local anharmonicity in thermoelectric SnSe are identified exclusively.

Externally-induced modification activated by high-energy excitation such as γ-irradiation from Co source is analyzed in chalcogenide glasses in terms of radiation-structural and glass-relaxation metastability, at the example of sulphides (including stoichiometric arsenic trisulphide, AsS) and selenides. Unified configuration-enthalpy model evolving conjugated configuration-coordinate (free energy in dependence on configuration coordinate) and thermodynamic enthalpy (temperature deviations in enthalpy, configurational entropy or free volume) diagrams is proposed to describe metastability in these glasses under external influences, such as (1) physical ageing, (2) irradiation, (3) thermal annealing, (4) rejuvenation, and their combinations. The model predicts glass stabilization in the ground state composed of partial sub-states related to (i) irradiation, (ii) rejuvenation, (iii) annealing, as well as (iv) ideal-glass deep states, connected by over-barrier jumping and through-barrier tunneling transitions.
