AbstractNon-Technical Summary. Semiconductors are critical components in a wide range of technologies including smart phones, solar cells, and radiation detectors, among many others. Mixed-chalcogen solids are an important class of semiconductors that have at least two negatively charged atoms, or anions, which can arrange themselves in ordered or disordered ways within a crystal. The arrangement of anions strongly impacts the electrical and thermal properties of semiconductors, but scientists do not ha
