Abstract
On the basis of the results obtained for eutectic Te-Ge glass, the application of the simple Piloyan method for study of the energetics of the glass-to-crystal transition was considered. Some new applications of this method to not yet completed transitions were proposed. Limitations of the method and factors exerting an effect on the calculated activation energies were discussed. Piloyan's procedure was compared with Kissinger's method.
