ABSTRACT
Structural relaxation of As-Se glasses through the glass-to-supercooled liquid transition interval is studied with temperature-modulated differential scanning calorimetry. It is shown that connectivity of glass network and long-term physical ageing change not only the full width at half maximum of the out-of-phase component of complex heat capacity, which is conventionally used for analysis, but also its asymmetry value. The latter is shown to carry very important information on the dynamic heterogeneity in glasses. Raman spectroscopy is used as complementary technique to reveal possible structural rearrangements in the investigated glass network.
