Glassy samples from the GeSe2-Sb2Te3-CdTe system are synthesized. The thermal characteristics (glass-transition Tg, crystallization Tcr and melting Tm temperatures) are determined using differential thermal analysis. On the base of the values of these temperatures the glass forming ability of the glasses is determined by the Hruby’s criterion. The main thermodynamic parameters (enthalpy ΔH and entropy ΔS alternation) of the crystallization are calculated. The values of the ΔH and ΔS vary within 21.196 – 98.625 kJ/mol and 33.91 – 170.93 J/(mol.K), respectively. The influence of the composition on the investigated characteristics is analysed.

The dependence of the induction period of crystallization on supercooling was examined for the silver nitrate-ethylene glycol system over the concentration region of silver nitrate lome fraction of 0 to 0.12. Addition of AgNO3 to ethylene glycol was found to increase considerably the critical induction period of crystallization, although to a lesser extent than Ca(NO3)2, CaCl2, ZnCl2, LiCl and LiNO3 do. The effect of these salts on the critical induction period of crystallization in dimethylsulfoxide, dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide and methanol was compared in terms of the solvent-rich composition limit of the glass-forming ability. By using the TTT(Time-Temperature-Transformation) theory, it has been deduced that the effect of the salts on the critical induction period of crystallization of ethylene glycol is probably due to the different dependences of viscosity on their concentration in ethylene glyco in the supercooling region.
