Abstract

Alternating differential scanning calorimetry (ADSC) analysis has been carried out on bulk Si15Te85-xCux(1≤x≤10) glasses to examine the thermal properties of the glassy samples in detail. The investigations on thecompositional dependence ofΔHNR(non- reversing enthalpy) manifests a trough between the composition2≤x≤6 which stands as the basis of the presence of Boolchand's Intermediate phase in that range.Additionally, anomalous behavior has been observed at the compositional dependence of various thermalparameters atx= 9, which stipulates the appearance of chemical threshold at the stated composition. Annealedbulk samples have been exposed to XRD studies to discern the type of formed crystalline phases. The study hasreported the manifestation of Te, Si1Te2,Si2Te3,Cu3Te2 phases.
