Proceedings of the 8th International Symposium on Crystallization in Glasses and Liquids, CD-ROM

Beschreibung

This CD-ROM contains contributions from the 8th International Symposium on Crystallization in Glasses and Liquids held at Jackson Hole, Wyoming on 24-28 September, 2006. There is a growing interest in both the basic processes of nucleation and crystal growth in glasses and liquids and the formation and properties of glass-ceramics, materials made by the controlled crystallization of glasses. Since the pioneering work in the 1950's by S. D. Stookey, a wide range of applications including kitchenware, dinnerware and telescope mirrors have been developed, utilizing properties such as ultra-low thermal expansion, high fracture toughness, mechanical machineability, and bioactivity. In addition, there has been an increasing and beneficial overlap between industry-oriented glass-ceramic research and the consideration of crystallization phenomena in the earth and planetary sciences for which partially and fully crystalline rocks remain a mainstay of scientific inquiry. A critical and continuing objective of the meeting and the resulting proceedings is to bridge the gap between the scientific understanding of nucleation and growth in glasses and the various applications of glass-ceramics and other crystalline materials.

Autor

Mark Davis has a background in the earth sciences and received his PhD in geology from Yale University.  His graduate and post-graduate research focused on the effects of water and thermal history on the structural relaxation and crystallization kinetics in model glass-forming systems. Since 1990, Mark has been employed by SCHOTT North America, Inc., where his work focuses on research and development relating to current and future glass-ceramic materials, as well as relevant characterization methods. He is a member of The American Ceramic Society and the American Geophysical Union.
