Correlation of the glass transition temperature and average energetic connectivity in network chalcogenide glasses
A correlation ratio between a glass transition temperature Tg and average bond energy E (obtained for chalcogenide glasses in L. Tichý & H. Tichá [J. Non-Cryst. Solids, 189, 1995]) was critically analyzed in this paper. As a result, this ratio was shown to have been obtained using incorrect calculations of the average bond energy E through inappropriate application of different averaging procedures for different terms of this parameter and, therefore, it cannot be used in practice.
