The ΔE*α(α) dependence  calculated by the isoconversional method for the isothermal R1 and R2 crystallization peaks of the as-quenched glassy Fe73Si15B10 ribbon, respectively.

 
Isoconversional methods (Friedman)


Procedure:

Differential-integral methods.

Isothermal measuring regime.

Several measurements at various temperatures, Ta.

Then the activation energy ΔE*α (kinetic parameter) could be determined:

ln[yα=const(t)] = -ΔE*α/(RTa) + const      - Friedman method (y(t) – DSC signal, α – constant degree of conversion)

Further for various α , the ΔE*α(α) dependence could be analyzed.

 

or also

Dynamic measuring regime.

Several measurements at various heating rates, w+.

Then the activation energy ΔE*α (kinetic parameter) could be determined:

ln[yα=const(T)] = -ΔE*α/(RTα) + const      - Friedman-Gupta method (y(T) – DSC signal, α – constant degree of conversion)

 Further for various α , the ΔE*α(α) dependence could be analyzed.

Procedure assumes:
Equivalent degree of conversion, αfor all heating rates, w+.
