The influence of Bi concentration on the thermal parameters viz temperatures of glass transition (Tgl) and crystallization (Tpc) of binary BixSe100-x glasses were studied experimentally. The activation energy of glass transition (EGl) has been estimated as the averaged value deduced based on Kissenger's relationship and its approximation. On the other hand, Afify and Aly methods help one to estimate the crystallization activation energy (Epc), the frequency factor (k0) and the order of reaction (n) with no approximation. The observed increase in EGl and Epc values resulted from increasing both Tgl and Tpc with increasing of the Bi content. The Lasocka relationship can describe the heating rate dependence of Tgl and Tpc. A good correlation between Tgl and Tpc was investigated. The attained results were discussed according to the distribution of the chemical bonds, the main coordination number (Nr), average heats of atomization (Hs), the mean bond energy (Es), the cohesive energy (CE), and the overall average bond energy () for BixSe100-x glasses.
