TL;DR: In this article, two types of nanocrystalline glass-ceramics are studied: transparent glass and high-modulus glass with precisely engineered surfaces, and the key crystalline phases include β-quartz solid solutions, characterized by low-thermalexpansion behavior; spinel, with high hardness and elastic modulus; and mullite, which shows unique chromium-luminescence behavior.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an ion-exchanged glass with the following properties: radio, and microwave frequency transparency, as defined by a loss tangent of less than 0.03 and at a frequency range of between 15 MHz to 3.0 GHz, and at least one of the following attributes: (i) a compressive surface layer having a depth of layer (DOL) greater and compressive stress greater than 400 MPa, or (ii) a central tension of more than 20 MPa.

TL;DR: In this article, the spectroscopic properties of Ni(2+)-doped nanocrystalline glass-ceramic fibers are reported, showing strong fluorescence with peak wavelength at 1250 nm, 3-dB bandwidth at 250nm, measured lifetimes at >1ms, and low-fluorescence saturation powers (~35mW) for 980-nm diode pumping.

TL;DR: Transparent, refractory glass-ceramics based on 10 nm crystals of spinel solid solution in a highly siliceous residual glass can be produced from compositions in the SiO 2 -Al 2 O 3 -ZnO-MgO-TiO 2 −ZrO 2 system as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In the case of enstatite glass-ceramics, the morphology of the initial phase separation provides a template for the ultimate crystalline microstructure, essentially locking in its nanocrystalline nature such that regardless of heat treatment crystals grow no larger than 200 nm as mentioned in this paper.
