The glass-forming ability of binary GexTe100-x (x=15, 20, 30) alloys was investigated. The crystallization mechanism of these amorphous bulks was studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and differential scanning calo- rimetry (DSC). The temperature of glass transition, the temperature of crystallization, the activation energy for glass transition and crystallization, and the order of the crystallization mechanism were calculated from the different heating-rates.
