Abstract

In the present paper, we report the compensation effect for the crystallization of different binary and ternary systems of some chalcogenide glasses. We have observed Meyer-Neldel rule between the pre-exponential factor K₀ of rate constant K(T) of crystallization and activation energy of crystallization E_c in the present case.
