Surface crystallization of silicate glasses: nucleation sites and kinetics
TLDR
In this paper, the authors reviewed some pertinent research aimed at understanding surface nucleation from both qualitative and quantitative points of view, including surface quality, tips, cracks and scratches, foreign particles and surrounding atmosphere.Abstract:
In this paper we review some pertinent research aimed at understanding surface nucleation from both qualitative and quantitative points of view. The majority of quantitative studies discuss the crystal nucleation kinetics of soda-lime-silica glasses and alkali-free silicate (cordierite, anorthite and diopside) glasses. We emphasize the kinetics of surface nucleation and consider the effects of surface quality, tips, cracks and scratches, foreign particles and surrounding atmosphere on crystallization. Related nucleation mechanisms are discussed.read more

Marcio Luis Ferreira Nascimento,Luciana Alves de Souza,Eduardo Bellini Ferreira,Edgar Dutra Zanotto +3 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assess and compare glass-forming ability (GFA) and several glass stability (GS) parameters through quantitative criteria, including the critical cooling rate, qcr, calculated from an estimated number of heterogeneous nucleation sites per unit surface, Ns, and from experimental crystal growth rates, u(T), assuming a detectable surface crystallized fraction Xc = 0.001.
