The mechanism of deceleration of nucleation and crystal growth by the small addition of transition metals to lithium disilicate glasses
The addition of small amounts of niobium or tantalum oxide to lithium disilicate glass provokes a drastic decrease of the steady-state nucleation rates and the crystal growth velocities. The viscosity of the residual glassy matrix is considered as a function of the crystallization degree in the cour...
