Book Description

Chalcogenide glass is made up of many elements from the Chalcogenide group. The glass is transparent to infrared light and is useful as a semiconductor in many electronic devices. For example, chalcogenide glass fibers are a component of devices used to perform laser surgery.

This book is a comprehensive overview of designs of various chalcogenide glass devices are presented, including switches, phase inverters, voltage stabilizers, oscillators, indicators and display control circuits, memory devices, and sensors. A special chapter is devoted to chalcogenide glass applications in optical fibers.

This collective monograph is intended to survey the current state of chalcogenide glass applications to facilitate further development.

The first collective monograph written by Eastern European scientists covering electrical and optical properties of chalcogenide vitreous semiconductors (CVS).

Contributions by B.G. Kolomiets, who discovered the properties of chalcogenide glass in 1955!

Provides evidence and discussion by authors from opposing positions.

Book Description

This monograph develops a unified microscopic basis for phases and phase changes of bulk matter and small systems in terms of classical physics. The origins of such phase changes are derived from simple but physically relevant models of how transitions between rigid crystalline, glassy and fluid states occur, how phase equilibria arise, and how bulk properties evolve from those of small systems.

Book Description

One evening when Boris is watching television, he notices that the picture looks blurry. The repairman who comes over tells him that the problem is not the television but, rather, Boris's eyesight. A trip to the eye doctor confirms the diagnosis – Boris is an astigmatic. How important this sounds! When he gets his glasses, a whole new world unveils itself to him. Boris decides to get a job with his "talent" and starts work at the radio factory as a foreman. However, nothing turns out as Boris expects in this sweet story enlivened by Olof Landström’s sprightly cartoon-like illustrations.

Cute Story but Disappointing Conclusion.......2003-12-22

I had high expectations for Boris's Glasses. I was soon disappointed with the outcome of the story. At first, I was impressed with how the author showed that Boris needed glasses. Words such as farsighted and nearsighted were used but were not explained or identified. The word astigmatic was also used but never explained except to say that it was hereditary.

As Boris wore his glasses I had a very positive feeling for the book. His vision improved, he got a job and saw things he had not been able to see before. I immediately felt the book had value especially for those children who must wear glasses. In elementary school, students often need encouragement to wear their glasses.

When Boris got headaches and was weary from wearing the glasses, he simply opted to walk away from his job, go back to his dirty home and have things as they were before. He decided to wear his glasses only on special occasions. Usually children do not have that option or privilege. To me, the author sends a bad message that when things are difficult or painful, just quit!

The illustrations are delightful and truly add to the book.

If I used this book with a class at school, I would finish the reading with a discussion about making bad choices and then lead the students to understand the need to improve themselves and not return to the status quo when change is hard to deal with.

Chalcogenide glass is made up of many elements from the Chalcogenide group. The glass is transparent to infrared light and is useful as a semiconductor in many electronic devices. For example, chalcogenide glass fibers are a component of devices used to perform laser surgery.

This book is a comprehensive survey of the current state of science and technology in the field of chalcogenide semiconductor glasses. While the majority of the book deals with properties of chalcogenide glass, chapters also deal with industrial applications, synthesis and purification of chalcogenide glass, and glass structural modification.

The first individual or collective monograph written by Eastern European scientists known to Western readers regarding structural and chemical changes in chalcogenide vitreous semiconductors(CVS)

Chapters written by B.G. Kolomiets who discovered the properties of chalcogenide glass in 1955

Provides evidence and discussion for problems discussed by authors from opposing positions.

Book Description

Chalcogenide glass is made up of many elements from the Chalcogenide group. The glass is transparent to infrared light and is useful as a semiconductor in many electronic devices. For example, chalcogenide glass fibers are a component of devices used to perform laser surgery.

The properties of chalcogenide glass result not only from their chemical composition and atomic structure, but also from the impact of numerous external factors. A comprehensive survey is presented of the properties of chalcogenide glass under various external impacts. Practical recommendations are presented for a wide range of applications.

Part II is the second part of a three-volume work within the Semiconductors and Semimetals series.

* The first collective monograph written by Eastern European scientists on the electrical and optical properties of chalcogenide vitreous semiconductors (CVS).
* Contributions by B.G. Kolomiets, who discovered the properties of chalcogenide glass in 1955!
* Provides objective evidence and discussion by authors from opposing positions.
