A study of DSC non-isothermal pre-crystallization kinetics of Pb10Se90 glass using isoconversional kinetic analysis

The pre-crystallization kinetics of Pb10Se90 glass was determined under non-isothermal conditions using a differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) technique. Two isoconversional methods, the Kissinger–Akahire–Sunose and Vyazovkin methods, were used to determine the variation of the activation energy for glass transition with temperature. The results show that only one (three-dimensional growth) mechanism is working simultaneously during the amorphous-glass process of the investigated glass.
