Catalyzed Crystallization of Glass-Forming Melts

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover The Vitreous State

Abstract

Present day theory of nucleation predicts a number of possibilities for increasing the rate of nucleation in processes of phase formation. In science and technology, such possibilities are applied as various methods of induced or catalyzed nucleation. Possible approaches in nucleation catalysis are discussed in the literature beginning with the classical monographs on nucleation theory. Here a summary of methods of nucleation catalysis is given in application to crystallization of undercooled melts.

Notes

  1. 1.

    A detailed analysis of the interplay between stress development and stress relaxation and its effect on crystal nucleation and growth processes in highly viscous glass-forming melts is given in Möller et al. [571]; Schmelzer et al. [723]; Schmelzer et al. [724]; Schmelzer et al. [727] (see also the Chap. 14 for further details).

  2. 2.

    Some recent new developments are briefly reviewed also in the Chap. 14.
