Abstract

Abstract The present paper reviews the results of non-isothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) measurements on some ternary glassy systems of Se–Te and Se–Ge chalcogenide alloys for evaluation of activation of glass transition. The activation energy of glass transition ( E g ) is calculated using Kissinger's relation, which is basically derived for amorphous to crystalline phase transition. The results show that E g values obtained from Kissinger's relation are in good agreement with the E g values which are obtained using Moynihan's relation based on the concept of thermal relaxation. This proves the applicability of Kissinger's relation for determination of activation energy of glass transition.
