Catalyzed Preparation of Amorphous Chalcogenides

Abstract

Sol-gel process conducted under an inert gas in a solvent at a temperature up to the boiling points of the solvent and by-products by reacting a chalcogen source, a glass network former-intermediate metal in the form of an alkoxide or a non-alkoxide and a catalyst to form a homogeneous product having average particle size of below 100 nm with catalyst; if the catalyst is a catalyst dopant, uniformly dispersed in the particles.
