Glasses, either pure or suitably doped, constitute an excellent material for the development
of integrated optical circuits. A brief review is presented of the most widely used processes …

The micro-cutting of brittle ceramics starts with elastic-plastic deformation followed by severe
brittle fracture, which significantly restricts the machinability and application of these …

Interfaces such as grain boundaries (GBs) and heterointerfaces (HIs) are known to play a
crucial role in structure-property relationships of polycrystalline materials. While several …

Highly transparent ZnGa2O4 glass-ceramic materials are elaborated via a simple heat
treatment of a 55SiO2–5Na2O–17ZnO–23Ga2O3 parent glass composition, which presents …

Numerous attempts have been made for the fabrication of bulk glass and glass ceramics (x=

The design, properties, and applications of transparent glass-ceramics are reviewed.
Interference effects in light scattering by transparent glass-ceramics are discussed. The …

Glass‐ceramics (GC s) are multiphase micro‐or nano‐crystalline materials produced by the
controlled nucleation and crystallization of an amorphous glass through a proper heating or …

The structure of ZnO based transparent glass-ceramics prepared from glasses by controlled
crystallization and of optical ceramics prepared by uniaxial recrystallization hot pressing and …

Over the past few decades, glass-ceramics doped with transition metals have become
promising materials for the development of active and passive optical functional devices …
