Thermal properties of chalcogenide glasses

Abstract: Thermal analysis techniques provide powerful tools for both the fundamental understanding and practical applications of chalcogenide glasses. Differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric, and thermomechanical analysis all provide insight not only into those properties of chalcogenide glasses which are critical for hot-forming applications, such as precision molding or fiber drawing, but also into the atomic-scale structural units that give rise to this material behavior. Similarly, a clear understanding of the viscosity–temperature relationship in chalcogenides is necessary for glass processing, from melting to fabrication, but also gives deep insight into fundamental structural differences between sulfide, selenide, and telluride glasses.
