Calorimetric studies of the glass transition phenomenon in glassy Se75Te15-xCd10Inx alloys using the non-isothermal DSC technique

Glass transition kinetics was studied in a glassy Se75Te15-xCd10Inx (x = 0, 5, 10 and 15) system. Differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) runs were taken at four different heating rates (5, 10, 15 and 20 K min(-1)) for this purpose. The heating rate dependence of the glass transition temperature (T-g) was studied using different non-isothermal methods. The activation energy of glass transition (E-g) was evaluated using Kissinger's relation and the theory of Moynihan. The composition dependence of T-g and E-g is also discussed.
