Die keimbildungskinetik im glasigen selen mit der beimischung des jods

The rate of crystallization of vitreous selenium containing 2 at.% of iodine was studied by calorimetric method in the temperature range 60–90°C. The obtained results satisfy an equation of Avrami. It was found that the exponential parameter z in this equation decreases as the temperature of crystallization increases. It was assumed in the discussion that the parameter z does not depend on the number of all processes occurring during nucleation. It depends only on slowly occurring processes. The increase of temperature probably causes a decrease of the number of slow processes and thus the value of the parameter z is diminished.The activation energy of crystallization is equal to $\text{E}{}_{\mathrm{kr}}\text{= 80}\text{kJ}\text{mol}$ with the standard deviation $\text{s}{}_{\mathrm{E}}\text{= 5.0}\text{kJ}\text{mol}$.
