Investigation of silver as chemical modifier for tailoring of some physico-chemical properties in inorganic glassy Se80Te20 alloy

摘要

In the present work, an attempt has been made to correlate the structural modifications in glassy Se80Te20 alloy after incorporation of Ag as chemical modifiers in terms of some significant physico-chemical parameters. For this, we have determined some significant physic-chemical parameters i.e., coordination number, constraints, density, molar volume, cohesive energy, heat of atomization etc in glassy Se80-x Te20Ag (x) (0 a parts per thousand currency sign x a parts per thousand currency sign 15) alloys. Our results indicate that there is a significant change in the structural environment of the parent glassy system due to rigidity percolation.
