AN EXTENDED REVIEW OF STRUCTURAL RELAXATION MODELS WITH THE MUTUAL CORRELATION OF THEIR PARAMETERS

Both the metallic and chalcogenide glasses possess the exothermal, end othermal and lambda-shaped effects of the apparent specific heat c(p,a )(T) in the differential scanning calorimeter. The kinetics of structu ral relaxation of Kissinger, Moynihan and distribution of non-linear r elaxation models are used to interpret these three phenomena. Because of the consistency of the models, their parameters are mutually relate d. The activation of Delta H-Kiss(T-a,t(a)) and Delta H-M*(T-a,t(a)) were predicted form the material parameters Delta H-DNLR, Delta S-DNL R and K-DNLR and the heat treatment history of the sample.
