In this study, the transient plane source (TPS) technique was used to measure the thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity of Se85-xTe15Sbx (x = 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10) pellets. These values were then used to determine the specific heat per unit volume of these glasses in the composition range of investigation. It was found that 4 at% of Sb (antimony) results in the critical composition of ...
This study measures the thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and specific heat of selenium-tellurium-tin alloys at room temperature. Selenium-tin alloys have high photosensitivity, higher crystallization temperature and smaller aging effects then just selenium. However, without an extra element to act as a chemical modifier limited reversibility and low glass transmission are issues. The researchers hope that the addition of tin will produce an improved alloy. Investigations showed that there were structural ...
