Following an introductory section, the book is broadly divided into three parts?dealing with Sulfur, Selenium, and Tellurium. The sections cover the basic structure of the elements and their compounds in bulk and nanostructured forms; properties that make these useful for various applications, followed by applications and commercial products. As the global technology revolution necessitates the search for new materials and more efficient devices in the electronics and semiconductor industry, Applications of Chalcogenides: S, Se, and Te is an ideal book for a wide range of readers in industry, government and academic research facilities looking beyond silicon for materials used in the electronic and optoelectronic industry as well as biomedical applications. 606 $aOptical materials 606 $aElectronic materials 606 $aSemiconductors 606 $aNanotechnology 606 $aInorganic chemistry 606 $aOptical and Electronic Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z12000 606 $aSemiconductors$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25150 606 $aNanotechnology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z14000 606 $aInorganic Chemistry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C16008 615 0$aOptical materials. 615 0$aElectronic materials. 615 0$aSemiconductors. 615 0$aNanotechnology. 615 0$aInorganic chemistry. 615 14$aOptical and Electronic Materials. 615 24$aSemiconductors. 615 24$aNanotechnology. 615 24$aInorganic Chemistry. 676 $a620.11295 676 $a620.11297 702 $aAhluwalia$b Gurinder Kaur$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155333803321 996 $aApplications of Chalcogenides: S, Se, and Te$91560412 997 $aUNINA
