Description

In the present work, the effect of Ge incorporation is studied on the thermal stability, micro-hardness and compactness of glassy Se90In10 alloy. Thermal stability of glassy Se90In10-xGex alloys has been studied using differential scanning calorimetric technique. Micro-hardness of glassy Se90In10-xGex alloys is measured at room temperature. The compactness of the structure of Se90In10-xGex alloys is also determined from the measured densities. The variation in micro-hardness and compactness with composition has been discussed.
