Abstract
Alloys of Sb10Se90-xGex (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 (Tg ), glass crystallization (Tc ) and melting temperature (Tm ), 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 (Ec ) has been calculated using Kissinger's method and Marseglia theory. The composition dependence of Tg and Ec has also been discussed.
