Heating Rate Dependence of the Glass Transition Temperature in Se85-xTe15Inx Amorphous Alloys

In the present paper, heating rate dependence of glass transition temperature (T-g) of Se85-xTe15Inx (x = 0, 2, 6, 10 and 15) chalcogenide alloys under non-isothermal conditions using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) technique has been reported and discussed. The glass transition temperature is found to increase with the increase in heating rate. The heating rate dependence of T-g has been investigated theoretically using power law behaviour. An excellent agreement of T-g has been observed between experimental values obtained from DSC scans and theoretical values using power law behaviour.
