The crystallization studies are carried out under non-isothermal conditions with samples heated at several uniform rates. Variation in some important parameters namely glass transition temperature Tg, glass forming ability Kgl and reduced glass transition temperature Trg have been studied with variation in Te content at various heating rates. From the heating rate dependence of Tg, the activation energy Et for glass transition has been evaluated. This analysis helps in finding the suitability of an alloy to be used in phase transition optical storage media/ switches. The optical media point the way for the most significant advances in recording for this century and beyond. Simply put, optical technologies offer enormous capacities and extremely high resolution, making them ideal for every purpose, from audio recording to information storage on machines not yet invented.
