Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) has been employed to investigate the glass transition activation energy E t , thermal stability and glass forming ability (GFA) of (Se 80 Te 20 ) 100-x Ge x (x = 0, 2, 4, 6) chalcogenide glasses. The DTA curves of the composition under investigation were recorded at the different heating rates. From the dependence of glass transition temperature on heating rate, the E t has been calculated on the basis of the Kissinger model. Thermal stability has been monitored through the calculation of temperature differences T c -T g and the stability parameter S. The GFA has been investigated on the basis of Hruby parameter H r , which is a strong indicator of GFA.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
