T. Petkova et M. Mitkova, GLASS-FORMING REGION AND SOME PROPERTIES OF THE GLASSES FROM THE TE-AG-I SYSTEM, Materials chemistry and physics, 33(3-4), 1993, pp. 233-238
The glass-forming region in the Te-Ag-I system is determined. The glas
sy phases contain 40-70 at.% tellurium, 2-18 at.% silver and 20-50 at.
% iodine. The boundaries of the region are determined through X-ray an
d electron microscopic investigations. The gassy phases are characteri
zed by the glass-transition temperature T(g), density d, microhardness
H(mu), molecular weight M, average molecular volume V, and chemical d
urability. On the basis of the above investigations, a structural mode
l of the glasses is proposed.
