Applicability of Meyer–Neldel rule for isothermal crystallization in glassy Se70Te30−xSbx alloys

Many activated phenomena, including solid state diffusion in crystals and polymers, dielectric relaxation, conduction and thermally stimulated processes in polymers, and electronic conduction in amorphous semiconductors obey the compensation law or Meyer–Neldel rule.In the present paper, we report the compensation effect in the isothermal crystallization in glassy Se70Te30−xSbx alloys. We have observed Meyer–Neldel rule between pre-exponential factor Ko and activation energy of crystallization Ec in the present case.
