Abstract

Se75Te15-xCd10Inx (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 Tg, Tc, and Tp values at a heating rate of 10K/min, the weighted glass thermal stability, Hw, 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, Hw. This can be explained by using Phillips and Thorpe's constraint theory for chalcogenide glasses.
