title: Iso-conversional kinetic analysis of quaternary glass re-crystallization.
abstract: Iso-conversional kinetic analysis is popular in scientific community for analyzing solid-state reactions (e.g., glass/amorphous and amorphous/crystal phase transformations, re-crystallization etc). It is a recognized significant tool to achieve useful outcomes for the solid state reaction under consideration. Present work is devoted to explore some insights of thermally activated crystallization using various heating rates (VHR) method. We have examined the correlation between iso-conversional activation energy and iso-conversional rate of crystal growth. In fact, we have observed the compensation law and iso-kinetic relationship using two different approaches for the study of crystallization phenomenon that drives thermally in an Arrhenian manner. Moreover, we found that the estimated intercepts and gradients (i.e., Meyer-Neldel energy and Meyer-Neldel pre-factor respectively) for both approaches also vary linearly and both sets are remarkably identical. These results approach to an inference for ensuring the equivalence of compensation law and iso-kinetic relationship and provide an understanding of various advanced materials in physical chemistry, materials sciences and solid-state physics.
