Renewed interest in the growth of chalcogenide based thin films is fueled by two remarkable properties in this material family. 1–5 First, many chalcogenide phases containing the chalcogen elements (X) sulfur, selenium, or tellurium, such as transition metal (M) mono- and dichalcogenides MX and MX 2, as well as post-transition metal (P) …

While the sticking coefficient of tellurium reached zero at temperatures above 150 °C, the sticking coefficient of selenium remained about 0.2 up to a film surface temperature of 60 °C, suggesting that selenium was supplied in different chemical forms. The direct and quantitative determination of the sticking coefficients provides important ...

Dear Colleagues, Selenium- and tellurium-bearing precious metal minerals are significant producers of Au, Ag, Pt, Pd, and potentially strategic elements if mineral processing methods are optimized for recovery. These minerals include many phases (e.g., Au-Ag-Te and Au-Ag-Se) and occur in many types of ore deposits from different backgrounds ...

Selenium and tellurium are both energy critical elements as defined by the American Physical Society and the Materials Research Society. When mixed together, both elements form an alloy. The size- and shape-dependent thermal and optical properties of this alloy are investigated in this manuscript by using nano-thermodynamics and machine ...

The backscattered electron image of the scrap Cu anode slime and EDS analysis of the marked particle are presented in Fig. 2 and Table 2, respectively.The brightest particles (spot 5) exhibit high concentrations of S, O, and Pb, thus confirming the presence of the PbSO 4 phase. Similarly, the grey particles (spots 2 and 4) can be …
