Abstract Using a differential thermal analysis technique to give single scan thermograms, the transformation mode,n, and the activation energy of crystallization,E, were determined for the chalcogenide glasses of the system Ag x (As2S3)100−x' withx=6, 15 and 25. Bothn andE were found to be compositionally dependent. The value ofn varies between 2.1 and 3.6, and that ofE between 2.4 and 3.6 eV. The crystallization kinetic data were explained using X-ray diffraction results of amorphous and crystalline structures.
