Transparent glass ceramics (TGCs) with minimized scattering loss offer the combined
characteristics of both glasses and (transparent) ceramics. The functionalities of the …

The pathway of crystal nucleation significantly influences the structure and properties of
semi-crystalline polymers. Crystal nucleation is normally heterogeneous at low …

Abstract Applying the Classical Nucleation Theory (CNT) to crystallization of glasses
encounters some difficulties. One of the most important aspects is that this theory overlooks …

A set of equations for determining the temperatures and magnitudes of the maximum
nucleation, growth, and overall crystallization rates of glass-forming liquids is derived and …

Nanoscale liquid immiscibility is observed in the 2018–2021 Fani Maoré submarine lavas
(Comoros archipelago). Heat transfer calculations, Raman spectroscopy, scanning and …

Non-isothermal differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to study the influences of
particle size (daver) and heating rate (q+) on the structural relaxation, crystal growth and …

In the application of classical nucleation theory (CNT) and all other theoretical models of
crystallization of liquids and glasses it is always assumed that nucleation proceeds only after …

The past two decades have witnessed the rapid development of nanocalorimetry, a novel
materials characterization technique that employs micromachined calorimetric sensors. The …

The influence of structural relaxation on crystal nucleation has been underexplored and
remains elusive. This article discusses its possible effect on the nucleation process using a …

The description of crystal nucleation rates in supercooled liquids in the framework of the
classical nucleation theory (CNT) fails if one uses a fixed size of “structural units”. To …
