Evaluation of specific heat and related thermodynamic properties of Ge1−x Sn x Se2.5 (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.5) glasses

Role of additive (Zn) incorporation on the glass/crystal thermodynamics and stability of Se80−xTe20Znx (x = 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10) glassy alloys

“…Above the crystallization temperature (T c ), the specific heat decreases abruptly and attains its minimum value at approximately the peak temperature of crystallization (T p ). This may be due to the vestiges of short-range order which still remains above T c and T m , and may disappear, when the temperature is further raised [14,41].…”
