Abstract
Differential scanning calorimetry data at different heating rates (5, 10, 15 and 20 °C min−1) of Se70Te15In15 chalcogenide glass is reported and discussed. The crystallization mechanism is explained in terms of recent analyses developed for use under non-isothermal conditions. The value of Avrami exponent (n) indicates that the glassy Se70Te15In15 alloy has three-dimensional growth. The average values of the activation energy for glass transition, Eg, and crystallization process, Ec, are (154.16 ± 4.1) kJ mol−1 and (98.81 ± 18.1) kJ mol−1, respectively. The ease of glass formation has also been studied. The reduced glass transition temperature (Trg), Hruby’ parameter (Kgl) and fragility index (Fi) indicate that the prepared glass is obtained from a strong glass forming liquid.
