Abstract

First of all I would like to thank my colleagues from the Forum of Chalcogeniders and especially to thank Prof. Stanford R. Ovshinsky for the great honor offered to me: his prestigious Prize for 2005. Stanford Ovshinsky is a great personality of our times, who combines successfully the ability of engineer with the open mind of the scientist. He remarked as early as 1960 the importance of the new group of materials, the chalcogenide glasses (ChG), that are not only excellent materials for the physics of non-crystalline semiconductors but also materials with wide applications in optoelectronics, electronics and informatics..
