The glass transition and the crystallization kinetics of Zn10Se90 glass by differential thermal analysis (DTA) technique under non-isothermal conduction were studied. The effective activation energies of the glass transition and the crystallization have been evaluated on the basses of the Kissinger and Matusita et al. approximations. Kinetic parameters of the crystallization process are significantly influenced by the heating rate. We have compared the experimental DTA with the calculated data curves for Zn10Se90 system using the Johanson-Mehl-Avrami (JMA) and Sestak-Berggren SB(M,N) models. Simulation results indicated that the SB(M, N) model is more suitable for describing the crystallization kinetics for the studied composition. Furthermore, the crystalline phases of annealed Zn10Se90 were characterized by X-ray diffraction. The surface morphology of the annealed samples was examined using scanning electron microscopy.
