Abstract

We have synthesized some novel chalcogenide glasses from the Se-Te-Sn-Bi system. The basic thermo-mechanical parameters such as micro-hardness, volume (Vh) and formation energy (Eh) of micro-voids in the glassy network, as well as the modulus of elasticity E have been calculated in present glasses. The composition dependence of micro-hardness is also discussed..

Keywords

Chalcogenide glasses, Micro-hardness, glass transition temperature, DSC technique.
