Study of the Glass Transition Temperature of (Se100-xBix)90Te10 (x = 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3) Alloys

Abstract:

Alloys of (Se100-xBix)90Te10 (x =0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3 at.%) were prepared by using a conventional melt-quench technique. The samples under investigation were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and differential analysis (DTA) at a heating rate of 10K/min. It was found, from the XRD studies, that the alloys were amorphous in nature. The glass transition temperatures of the alloys were found to increase with increasing bismuth content. This increase in the glass transition temperature was explained on the basis of a chemically ordered network model.
