Abstract

The crystallization kinetics of Cs 2O–Fe 2O 3–P 2O 5 glasses containing 12.5–27 mol% Cs 2O were studied by using differential scanning calorimetry under nonisothermal conditions. Strong dependence of activation energy with temperature was observed, indicating the complex nature of the crystallization process. The various crystallization products were identified by X-ray diffraction technique. CsFeP 2O 7 was found to be the major crystalline phase in all cases. The overall activation energy obtained by classical model-free kinetic method was compared with that of isoconversional method; and from the results, the dependence of activation energy on extent of reaction and average temperature was delineated.
