Preferred Abstract (Original):

The glass-transition (T_g) and crystallisation (T_x) temperatures of glassy Ge_xSe_yIn₁₂ (7≤x≤28) have been determined from differential scanning calorimetry measurements. The variations of T_g and T_x with composition have been specified. It has been found that T_g reaches a maximum at 614 K for the composition Ge_23.33 Se_64.67 In₁₂ while T_x passes through a minimum at 740 K for the same composition. The values of the cohesive energies of the studied compositions have also been estimated using the chemical bond approach method. It is found that the composition Ge_23.33Se_64.67In₁₂ possesses the maximum cohesive energy. These results are explained in terms of the structure of Ge-Se-In glasses.
