Study of nucleation in a Se90Te10 chalcogenide glass by microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry
The Se90Te10 alloy readily forms a stable chalcogenide glass that has widely documented applications. In this work, the nucleation behavior of Se90Te10 was studied by infrared microscopy as well as by differentia...

Chapter
Crystallization Kinetics in Amorphous and Glassy Materials
Glassy materials lack the periodic atomic arrangements typical for crystals. They are by definition prepared by cooling a viscous glass-forming liquid fast enough to avoid crystallization. This way of preparat...

Chapter
Structural Relaxation and Viscosity Behavior in Supercooled Liquids at the Glass Transition
Glasses are amorphous materials that lack the periodicity of crystalline substances. Structurally, they resemble metastable supercooled liquids but behave mechanically like solids. A typical way of preparing g...

Viscosity Measurements Applied to Chalcogenide Glass-Forming Systems
Viscosity is an important physical parameter which determines the flow of material. The knowledge of viscous behaviour is important for example for the process of the material production. In the case of glasse...
