Abstract

Abstract We have performed hardness measurement experiments under different loads and loading times by performing micro-indentation marks in the present work. Chalcogenide glasses (ChGs) comprising Se78Te20Sn2 and Se78-xTe20Sn2Znx (where x = 0, 2, 4, & 6) alloys are the subject of micro-indentation tests in this work. We have utilized both micro-indentation and optical microscopic methods to determine Vickers hardness. Thermal glass transition phenomena have been identified through DSC techniques. The modulus of elasticity (E), an essential mechanical property, has been evaluated using established empirical equations. Further, we have studied other mechanical parameters [e.g., minimal micro-void formation energy (E h ), glass’s fragility index (m), micro-void volume (V h ), etc] and the covalent character of the glassy system. Additionally, various physical parameters, including density, molar volume, and compactness, have also been determined. The results emphasize that the different thermo-mechanical parameters investigated in this study achieve their most extreme values at the highest concentration of Zn. However, the energy of micro-void formation within the glassy network of quaternary glasses remains relatively unchanged after the introduction of Zn into the parent STS alloy;
