The properties of the glasses and crystals of GexSe90-xSb10 (x=20, 23, 25, 30) prepared with melt quenching method have been analyzed by DSC. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of GexSe90-xSb10 glasses at different heating rates, the specific heat capacity and the entropy of the glasses and the crystals have been obtained. And on this basis, the kinetics ideal glass transition temperature (T0), the thermodynamics ideal glass transition temperature (TK) (Kauzmann temperature) and the kinetic fragility index (m) of GexSe90-xSb10 glasses have been determined. It is found that Tg, the specific heat capacity and the entropy increase with increasing the heating rate. Tg and T0 first increase and then decrease with increasing the Ge content, while TK increases linearly with the increase of Ge content. The m, Tg/TK, Tg/Tm and Tg/T0 are estimated to be 20.7~23.2, 1.183~1.352, 0.678~0.742 and 1.006~1.019, respectively. For each GexSe90-xSb10 glass in this work, its m is smaller than 30 and Tg/TK is larger than 1.1, which means that the GexSe90-xSb10 glass should be considered as a strong melt. The value of Tg/Tm is larger than 2/3, which indicates that amorphous GexSe90-xSb10 can be formed easily.
