Abstract

A brief derivation of the Kissinger’s equation for analysis of experimental data of non-isothermal glass transition peaks based on the free volume model is given. This equation was applied successfully to Cu0.3(SSe20)0.7 chalcogenide glass for different heating rates. For granted this model, the obtained glass transition activation energy, E g must be constant throughout the whole glass transition temperature range. This required that T g to be determined for three characteristic temperature points for each DSC curve.
