Ternary amorphous chalcogenide Ge—Se—(B, Ga, Tl) glasses and thin films, their preparation, properties, and applications, are reviewed, expanding on recently obtained results. The progress obtained is not only connected with a better understanding of their structure, chemical bonding and properties, but also with applications of these glasses and films in optoelectronics as waveguides and optical memories.
