Abstract

Differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) studies have been carried out in an attempt to explain the composition dependence of the thermal crystallization behaviour of CuxGe15Te85-x glasses. It is seen that these glasses exhibit a single glass transition and single-stage crystallization on heating. The glass transition temperature, crystallization temperature and the activation energy for crystallization are each found to exhibit an anomaly at around the composition x = 5. The anomalies observed in the thermal properties at x = 5 can be associated with rigidity percolation.
