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

We review a plethora of relevant experimental results on internal homogeneous crystal
nucleation in silicate glasses obtained in the last four decades, and their analyses in the …

Crystallization of oxide glasses has a long history since the first proposal by Stookey in the
1950s, and nowadays various glass-ceramics (crystallized glasses) having potential for …

Over the past three decades, researchers have investigated the existence of possible
relationships between crystal nucleation kinetics and the atomic-scale structure of silicate …

We collect and critically analyze extensive literature data, including our own, on three
important kinetic processes—viscous flow, crystal nucleation, and growth—in lithium …

In recent years, there is a growing interest in improving the physicochemical stability of
amorphous pharmaceutical solids due to their very promising applications to manufacture …

The crystallization of fresnoite from glasses enables to produce a wide variety of materials
including piezoelectric glass-ceramics due to the aligned growth of these crystals in the …

The rate of crystal nucleation has been measured in four glass-forming molecular liquids: D-
sorbitol, D-arabitol, D-xylitol, and glycerol. These polyalcohols have similar rates of crystal …

Erythritol, having a nominal melting point of∼ 118° C, has been considered a candidate
phase change material (PCM) for medium-temperature thermal energy storage (TES) due to …

Glass-ceramics (GCs) are constituted by nanometer-to-micron-sized crystals embedded in a
glass matrix; usually, their structural or functional elements (clusters, crystallites or …
