Effect of silver addition on thermal properties of (GeS2)50(Sb2S3)50 glass

Abstract

Thermal properties of the (GeS2)50(Sb2S3)50 glass without and with the addition of 10 at. % of silver has been studied using calorimetry and thermal analysis. The viscosity data were obtained in a wide temperature range and described by the appropriate model. The glass transition region and the crystallization behaviour were studied in detail.
