When shaped into optical components, finding appropriate optical coatings is challenging, as
chalcogenide behaves differently than popular crystals.

chalcogenide compound [Cu.sub.2]Ge[Te.sub.3] by X-ray powder diffraction".
If the metal salt-thiol reaction mixture is combined with the
chalcogenide source (HSe) at low temperature (< 0[degrees]C), then the growth of the QDs will be slowed upon subsequent refluxing.
The synthesis of metal
chalcogenide nanoparticles, in particular, has become an area of interest due to their size-dependent unique properties which include chemical, physical, magnetic, electronic, and surface properties which are different from the bulk properties [1].
