Abstract

The physical origin of the glass transition and its possible connection with crystallization is still an unresolved problem of glass science. Recent publications demonstrate the strong evidence of intrinsic relation between glass transition and crystallization phenomena. Here, we study this problem by using Meyer–Neldel rule (MNR) as a tool. The observation of MNR in thermally activated non-isothermal crystallization was verified by us in past. The objective of the present work is to check the applicability of MNR for thermally activated non-isothermal glass transition and crystallization in some chalcogenide glasses. We found that like crystallization, the glass transition phenomenon also obeys the MNR.
