Abstract
The crystallisation kinetics and effects of doping on Bi2Sr2CaCu2Oδ (BSCCO) glass ceramic system with 0.0%, 0.1%, 0.3% and 0.5% PbSe were investigated in this study. Differential thermal analysis (DTA) was used to investigate the effects of PbSe doping on glass transition, nucleation and crystallisation temperature of glass were investigated. The DTA results were analysed using the Ozawa, Augis–Bennett, Takhor and Kissinger equations for nucleation kinetics to determine the activation energies and Avrami parameters. Thermogravimetric analysis revealed that the amount of oxidation in the structure increased with increasing PbSe-doping concentration.
