How to Use selenide in a Sentence

selenide

noun
  • Molybdenum disulfide is a few steps ahead because researchers have worked with it more than, say, tungsten selenide, and know how to grow the material over large areas.
    — Katherine Bourzac, IEEE Spectrum, 10 Jan. 2017
  • But Shen wanted to see if this coupling between the atomic vibrations and the electrons in iron selenide would occur without any substrate, forming the basis of this most recent research.
    — IEEE Spectrum, 6 July 2017
  • By using a slighter thicker version of the iron selenide that was atomically uniform in its structure, the scientists triggered 5-trillion-times-a-second atomic vibrations in the material by hitting it with infrared laser light.
