Description:
Alloys of Sb 10 Se 90-x Ge x ( x = 0, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27) have been prepared using melt quenching technique. Differential thermal analysis has been used to determine the three characteristic temperatures, glass transition ( T g ), glass crystallization ( T c ) and melting temperature ( T m ), at four heating rates 5, 10, 15 and 20 K/min. The thermal stability and ease of glass formation have been evaluated in terms of Hruby parameter and reduced glass transition temperature respectively. The activation energy for glass crystallization ( E c ) has been calculated using Kissinger's method and Marseglia theory. The composition dependence of T g and E c has also been discussed.
