The crystallization kinetics of glassy Se and binary Se 98 M 2 (M=Ag, Cd, Zn) alloys have been studied at different heating rates (5, 10, 15, 20 Kmin -1 ) using Differential Scanning Calorimetric (DSC) technique. The crystallization temperature ( T c ) is determined from exothermic peak obtained in DSC scans of present samples. The variation in peak crystallization temperature ( T c ) with the heating rate ( β ) has been used to investigate the growth kinetics using Kissinger, Augis-Bennet and Matusita-Sakka models. The activation energy of crystallization ( E c ) has been found to increase with Ag additive and to decrease with Zn and Cd additive. The value of various kinetic parameters such as rate constant ( K p ), Avrami index ( n ), thermal stability ( S ) and Hruby number ( H r ) have been calculated under non-isothermal mode. The maximum change in different kinetic parameters has been found after the incorporation of Ag additive.
