Popis: Results of differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) at different heating rates on Se2Ge0.2Sb0.8 chalcogenide glass are reported and discussed. As the heating rate (α) changed, also the glass transition temperature (Tg) and onset temperature of crystallization (Tc) changed. As the value of the transition activation energyEt changed, the crystallization fraction (χ), heat flow (Δq and the crystallization peak temperature (Tp) also changed. The value of the effective activation energy of crystallizationEc was calculated by means of six different methods. The Se2Ge0.2Sb0.8 chalcogenide glass has two crystallization mechanisms, a one-dimensional and an other surface crystallization growth. The average value ofEt for Se2Ge0.2Sb0.8 is equal to 194.95±3.9 kJ·mol−1 and the average value ofEc is equal to 164±3.3 kJ·mol−1.
