GOMD S1 session: Glass Crystallization and Glass-Ceramics

This session is devoted to advancing fundamental understanding of crystallization in glass and application in glass-ceramics and related materials. The session will cover experimental, analytical/characterization as well as numerical/modeling aspects of nucleation and growth in glass forming materials. Topics to be covered include, but are not limited to the following:

• Theoretical, simulation, and experimental studies of nucleation and crystal growth in glass and liquids
• The role of glass composition, structure, and nucleating agents on crystallization
• Amorphous phase separation and its role in influencing crystallization
• Novel methods and characterization techniques (ex-situ, in-situ) to understand crystallization
• Modeling and simulation techniques to elucidate crystallization glass forming ability of compositions
• Crystallization phenomena in organic and metallic materials
• Novel processing techniques for glass-ceramics
• Microstructure/property relationships in glass-ceramics
• Predicting glass-ceramic generation
• Applications of glass-ceramics
