A chalcogenide is a chemical compound consisting of at least one chalcogen ion and at least one more electropositive element. Although all group 16 element s of the periodic table are defined as chalcogens, the term is more commonly reserved for sulfide s, selenide s, and Telluride chemistry telluride s, rather than oxide s. photoconductivity Photoconductive chalcogenide glass es are used in xerography and television .

A chalcogenide glass hard ch as in chemistry is a glass containing one or more chalcogen ide Chemical element elements . These are Group 16 in the periodic table e.g. sulfur , selenium or tellurium . Such glasses are covalently bonded materials and may be classified as network solid s. In effect, the entire glass matrix acts like an infinitely bonded molecule. The classical chalcogenide glasses are strong glass formers mainly sulphur based ones such as systems As S, Ge S possess glasses within large concentration regions. Glass forming abilities decrease with increasing molar weight of constituent elements i.e. S Se Te. Semiconducting properties of chalcogenide glasses were revealed in 1955 by B.T. Kolomiets and N.A. Gorunova from Ioffe Institute , USSR ref name Kolomiets B.T. Kolomiets, Physica Status Solidi, vol. 7, p. 359, p. 713, 1964. ref . This discovery initiated the numerous researches and applications of this new class of semiconducting materials.

AgInSbTe , or Silver Indium Antimony Tellurium , is a phase change material from the group of chalcogenide glass es, used in rewritable optical disc s such as CD RW rewritable CDs and phase change memory applications. It is a quaternary compound of silver , indium , antimony , and tellurium . During writing, the material is first erased, initialized into its crystalline state, with long, lower intensity laser irradiation. The material heats up to its crystallization temperature, but not up to its melting point, and crystallizes in a metastable face centered cubic structure. Then the information is written on the crystalline phase, by heating spots of it with short 10 ns , high intensity laser pulses the material locally melts and is quickly cooled, remaining in the amorphous phase. As the amorphous phase has lower reflectivity than the crystalline phase, the bitstream can be recorded as dark amorphous spots on the crystalline background. At low linear velocities, clusters of crystalline material can exist in the amorphous spots. http jjap.ipap.jp link?JJAP 44 3042 Another similar material is GeSbTe , offering a lower linear density, but with higher overwrite cycles by 1 2 orders of magnitude.

Self propagating high temperature synthesis SHS is a method for producing inorganic compound s by exothermic reactions, usually involving salts. A variant of this method is known as solid state metathesis SSM . Since the process occurs at high temperatures, the method is possible to ideally suited for the production of refractory materials such unusual properties, for example powders, metallic alloys, ceramics with high purity, corrosion resistance at high temperature or super hardnessity. The modern SHS process was reported and patented in 1971, ref name Merzhanov Self propagated high temperature synthesis of refractory inorganic compounds , A.G. Merzhanov, I.P. Borovinskaya.

Methodology In its usual format, SHS is conducted starting from finely powdered reactants that are intimately mixed. In some cases, the reagents are finely powdered whereas in other cases, they are sinter ed to minimize their surface area and prevent uninitiated exothermic reactions, which can be dangerous. ref name Kaner The synthesis is initiated by point heating of a small part usually the top of the sample. Once started, a wave of exothermic reaction sweeps through the remaining material. SHS has also been conducted thin films, liquids, gases, powder liquid systems, gas suspensions, layered systems, gas gas systems, and others. Reactions have been conducted in a vacuum and under both inert or reactive gases. The temperature of the reaction can be moderated by the addition of inert salt that absorbs heat in the process of melting or evaporation, such as sodium chloride .
