AbstractThis work presents studies concerning the relationship between reduction of glass transition temperatureTrgand the glass-forming ability of FeCoB-based alloys. On the basis of theoretical considerations, Turnbull [1] determined the reduced glass transition temperature (Tg/Tl) as being 2/3 of the Vogel–Fulcher–Tammann (VFT) temperature; since then, continuous research has been carried out, aiming to calculate the Trg parameter and describe its relationship with glass-forming ability. In the majority of research papers, the reduced glass transition temperature is calculated from the relationshipTg/Tm, proposed by Uhlmann and Davies [2, 3]. On the basis of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) studies, undertaken in this current work, the values of the following temperatures have been found:Tg,Tx, Tmand Tl, in addition to the temperature ranges:ΔTx,ΔTmandΔTl. The correlation between:Tg/Tm,Tg/Tland the glass-forming ability also has been discussed. Finally, for the investigated alloys, it has been found that the relationship proposed by Turnbull is reliable over a wide range ofΔTm.

In the present research work melt quenching method has been adopted to prepare the glassy Te-rich (Te90Se10) and Se-rich (Se90Te10 ) Chalcogenide at a pressure of 10-2 Torr with constant Temperature at 1000°C for 8 hours. Devitrification characteristics of the pure glassy Chalcogenide Te90Se10 and Se90Te90 were investigated by using Differential scanning Calorimetry (DSC) 4000 Perkin Elmer. All the measurements carried out at fixed heating rate 10 0C/min under non-isothermal conditions. The Glass transition temperature (Tg) and other thermal properties were examined by temperature modulated differential scanning Calorimetry at 40 oC to 445 oC. Glass transition temperature (Tg) represents the strength or rigidity of the glass structure. Tg affords valuable information on the thermal stability of the glassy state but Tg alone does not give any information on the glass forming tendency. The difference of the Peak crystallization temperature (Tp) and Glass transition temperature (Tg) is a strong indication of the thermal stability. The higher the value of Tc and Tg the greater is the thermal stability. Glass transition temperature (Tg=2160C) of Tellurium rich (Te90Se10) is more than Glass transition temperature (Tg=730C) of Selenium rich (Se90Te90) due to semi metallic nature of Tellurium. The difference of (Tp-Tg) is a strong indicator of both the thermal stability and Glass forming ability (GFA). Higher the value of (Tp-Tg), higher is the thermal stability and GFA because higher values of this difference indicate more kinetic resistance to the crystallization. Glass forming ability (GFA) and thermal stability of Te90Se10 is greater than Se90Te90. For memory and switching materials, glass thermal stability and GFA parameters are very important. Intensity of Se-rich (Se90Te10) is more than Te-rich (Te90Se10) and both samples are polycrystalline in nature.

The present work aims to provide insights on recent findings indicating the presence of multiple equilibration mechanisms in physical aging of glasses. To this aim, we have investigated a glass forming polyether, poly(1-4 cyclohexane di-methanol) (PCDM), by following the evolution of the enthalpic state during physical aging by fast scanning calorimetry (FSC). The main results of our study indicate that physical aging persists at temperatures way below the glass transition temperature and, in a narrow temperature range, is characterized by a two steps evolution of the enthalpic state. Altogether, our results indicate that the simple old-standing view of physical aging as triggered by the α relaxation does not hold true when aging is carried out deep in the glassy state.

This study shows the importance of the chosen method for assessing the glass-forming ability (GFA) and glass stability (GS) of a drug compound. Traditionally, GFA and GS are established using in situ melt-quenching in a differential scanning calorimeter. In this study, we included 26 structurally diverse glass-forming drugs (i) to compare the GFA class when the model drugs were produced by spray-drying with that when melt-quenching was used, (ii) to investigate the long-term physical stability of the resulting amorphous solids, and (iii) to investigate the relationship between physicochemical properties and the GFA of spray-dried solids and their long-term physical stability. The spray-dried solids were exposed to dry (<5% RH) and humid (75% RH) conditions for six months at 25 °C. The crystallization of the spray-dried solids under these conditions was monitored using a combination of solid-state characterization techniques including differential scanning calorimetry, Raman spectroscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction. The GFA/GS class assignment for 85% of the model compounds was method-dependent, with significant differences between spray-drying and melt-quenching methods. The long-term physical stability under dry condition of the compounds was predictable from GFA/GS classification and glass transition and crystallization temperatures. However, the stability upon storage at 75% RH could not be predicted from the same data. There was no strong correlation between the physicochemical properties explored and the GFA class or long-term physical stability. However, there was a slight tendency for compounds with a relatively larger molecular weight, higher glass transition temperature, higher crystallization temperature, higher melting point and higher reduced glass transition temperature to have better GFA and better physical stability. In contrast, a high heat of fusion and entropy of fusion seemed to have a negative impact on the GFA and physical stability of our dataset.

A eutectic point in Pr-rich Pr-(Cu,Ni)-Al alloys was experimentally determined by measuring the solidus temperature (Tm) and liquidus temperature (T1). It was found that Pr68(Cu0.5Ni0.5)25Al7 (at.%) is at the eutectic composition in the pseudoternary Pr–(Cu0.5Ni0.5)–Al alloys. The alloy Pr68(Cu0.5Ni0.5)25Al7 exhibits better glass-forming ability (GFA) than the ternary eutectic alloy Pr68Cu25Al7. However, the best GFA was obtained at an off-eutectic composition (Pr54[Cu0.5Ni0.5]30Al16) in the Pr–(Cu0.5Ni0.5)–Al alloys, which can be formed in fully amorphous rods with diameter of 1.5 mm by copper mold casting. Moreover, the glass-transition temperature Tg increases quickly (from 367 to 522 K) with the increasing of the Al content (from 3 to 27 at.%). The deviation of the best GFA composition from the eutectic point [Pr68(Cu0.5Ni0.5)25Al7] was explained in terms of the asymmetric coupled eutectic zone, the competition between growth of crystalline phase and formation of amorphous, and the higher glass-transition temperature Tg on the hypereutectic side.

AbstractIodide glasses presently being investigated suffer from their poor glass forming abilities, thermal instabilities and general lack of chemical durability. Glasses in the Cd-As-I and Cd-As-Ge-I systems are investigated in this study for the purpose of developing water-resistant, thermally stable iodide glasses and optical fibers. Differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) showed that glasses in these systems have glass transition temperature(Tg) values above 300°C. Devitrification of glasses during cooling and reheating can be suppressed by incorporating small amount of Ge atoms into ternary Cd-As-I glasses. They are transparent up to 14μm in the infrared region with excellent durability against liquid water at 90°C.
