Journal of Thermal Analysis, Vol. 50 (1997) 843-856 ANALYSIS OF THERMODYNAMIC PARAMETERS OF GLASS FORMING METALLIC MELTS R. K. Mishra and K. S. Dubey Department of Applied Physics, Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University Varanasi - 221 005, India (Received January 9, 1996;in revised form November 22, 1996) Abstract The temperature dependence of the Gibbs free energy difference (AG) between the under- cooled liquid and the corresponding equilibrium solid has been analysed for metallic glass forming systems in the frame of the expression obtained by expanding free energies of the un- dercooled liquid and solid phases in the form of Taylors series expansion. The enthalpy differ- ence (AH) and the entropy difference (AS) between the undercooled liquid and solid phases have also been analysed. The study is made for five different metallic glass forming materials, Au77Ge13.6SigA, Au53.2Pb27.sSb19.3,Au81.4Si18.6, Mg85.sCu14.5 and Mg81.6Ga18.4and a very good agreement is found between calculated and experimental values of AG. The ideal glass transi- tion temperature (Tk) and the residual entropy (ASR)of these materials have also been studied due to their important role in assigning the glass formation ability of materials. Keywords: thermodynamic parameters Introduction The advent of metallic glasses by the rapid quenching techniques has resulted in a revival of renewed interests in the nucleation and growth kinetics in liquid alloys. One of the important parameters necessary for the understanding of the classical theories of the nucleation and growth is the Gibbs free energy differ- ence (AG) between the undercooled liquid and the corresponding equilibrium solid phases. But the metastab
