Abstract: On the basis of previous investigation on stable criterion for glass, the authers put forwarda new stable criterion of kDT)=v·exp(-E/RT·D)[DTcTpTc)/T1T1-Tg)],whichhas included the kinetic factor and the thermodynamic factor by means of bringing correctionfactor D into the stable criterion k(T). The low value of kD(T) means good stability of the glass.The new criterion kD(T) has little connection with heating rate and can be well used in differentcharacteristic temperature. When values of frequey factor v of glass are near, the criterion especially can decide the stability of the glass and shows more superiority than the criterion of k(T) of ky(T), which cannot give a correct judgment about the stability of glass. The correctness of the new criterion of kD(T) was verified by experiments.
