Chalcogenide Surface Science


EMSL Project ID
6091

Abstract

Chalcogenide nanowires have been observed to form on soda lime glass and fused quartz substrates. These materials have potential application for analytical and photonic devices. Further research is required in order to determine the mechanisms responsible for their formation. A good understanding of interfacial surface chemistry and substrate surface preparation are key to gaining the required information to control their formation.
