Due to their measurable crystallization kinetics, oxide glass-formers are adequate systems
for evaluating theoretical approaches to describe and predict crystal nucleation dynamics …

The lithium aluminosilicate system (LAS) is being explored for almost seven decades due to
its anomalous and attractive properties (especially low/negative thermal expansion and fast …

Nucleation is one of the primary contributions to the microstructure of glass-ceramics.
However, the nucleation process within glass-ceramics is not understood across all glass …

An increasing number of studies are being presented demonstrating that volcanic glasses
can be heterogeneous at the nanoscale. These nano-heterogeneities can develop both …

The price of lithium-containing minerals and other chemical materials continues to increase,
resulting in an increase in the production cost of Li 2 O-Al 2 O 3-SiO 2 (LAS) system glass …

Containerless melting was employed to evaluate the influence of increasing ZrO 2 additions
on the glass-forming ability of peraluminous melts in the magnesium aluminosilicate system …

X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (XAFS) spectroscopy has been widely used to characterize
the short-range order of glassy materials since the theoretical basis was established 45 …

In manufacturing reliable glass-ceramics, bulk chemistry and appropriate thermal treatments
are critical points. To better understand the influence of nucleation parameters on the …

Lithiumalumosilicate glasses are of great importance for industrial applications, because
they enable the preparation of glass ceramics with coefficients of thermal expansion close to …

Glass ceramics based on Li2O/Al2O3/SiO2 are of high economic importance, as they often
show very low coefficients of thermal expansion. This enables a number of challenging …
