The glass-formation regions in the quasi-ternary systems Ag₂Se–Zn(Cd,Hg)Se–GeSe₂ were determined using XRD data. The maximum content of the modifier ZnSe is 10 mol.%, that of CdSe is 12 mol.%. The largest region of existence of glasses is observed in the mercury-containing system where it crosses the concentration triangle. The thermal properties of the glasses were characterized by the glass transition temperature, the crystallization temperature and the melting point of the crystallized alloy.
