From glass to crystal : : Nucleation, growth and phase separation: from research to applications / / Daniel Caurant, Lionel Montagne, Daniel R. Neuville, Laurent Cornier.
Glass-ceramics are now commonplace in our daily lives, despite having only been discovered for less than a century. Much still remains to be investigated and understood about these materials, both in their applications as well as in the underlying scientific concepts. This book aims to contribute to...
