Abstract
≤ 6)] system and their different physicochemical properties. A noticeable rise in the crystallization rate is observed after the addition of Zn in the parent SeTeSn glass. With the rise in the zinc content, the values of average heat of atomization and overall mean bond energy are found to be decreased with the decrease in cohesive energy of samples. An inverse correlation is observed between the thermal stability parameter and the enthalpy released during the glass/crystalline phase transformation.
