The two first chapters of this volume focus on the structure of magmas at different scales:
short and medium range order. A quick review of the glass literature, from the 90's or older …

Abstract Knowledge of relaxation processes is fundamental in glass science and technology
because relaxation is intrinsically related to vitrification, tempering as well as to annealing …

Exploring the atomic-level structure of lead aluminosilicate glass is extremely important for
improving the performance of the related products such as optical devices and …

Conventional differential scanning calorimeters (DSC) are widely used to study thermal
responses in glasses, such as crystallization, relaxation, and glass transition. However, their …

The crystallization in glasses is a paradoxical phenomenon and scarcely investigated. This
work explores the non-isothermal crystallization of a multicomponent alumino-borosilicate …

Magnesium aluminosilicate glasses have a wide range of applications in composite fiber
reinforcements, aircraft windshields, due to their excellent chemical stability and mechanical …

In this study, lead metasilicate glasses (PbSiO 3) were densified at different maximum
pressures in a diamond anvil cell (DAC) at room temperature. The densified glass samples …

This manuscript presents an investigation of alamosite, PbSiO 3, obtained by crystallization
of lead metasilicate glass, PbO· SiO 2. Rietveld refinement of synchrotron X-ray diffraction …

As already noted in Chapter 1, given their specific properties, glasses containing lead oxide
have a very broad field of application. This extends from crystal glasses, enamels and …

A combination of density measurement, differential scanning calorimetry, refractometry, and
Raman and 29Si nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is employed to …
