Synthesis and Thermal Properties of Indium Additive Based Some Multi-Component Chalcogenide Glasses

Abstract: Se₇₅Te_15-xCd₁₀In_x (0≤ x ≥15) multi-component glassy alloys have been studied using differential scanning calorimetric (DSC). Thermal properties of these chalcogenide glasses (CGs) analysed by differential scanning calorimetry. Using T_g, T_c, and T_pvalues at a heating rate of 10K/min, the weighted glass thermal stability, H_w, stability parameter, S, and fragility index have been computed. I have also discussed the composition dependence of the fragility index, thermal stability parameter, S, and weighted glass thermal stability, H_w. This can be explained by using Phillips and Thorpe's constraint theory for chalcogenide glasses.
