X Abstract

Glass-ceramic materials may transmit visible light if either of the following conditions are operative: (i) the crystallites of all species are much smaller than the wavelength of visible light, or (ii) the optical anisotropy (birefringence) within the crystals and refractive index difference between crystals and glass are very small. These conditions are achieved in several aluminosilicate glass-ceramic systems. Solid solutions (ss) of ß-quartz, spinel, and mullite are the major crystalline phases in these transparent glass-ceramics. The transparent ß-quartz solid solution glass-ceramics can be divided into three areas: ultra-low expansion materials, refractory and colourless materials, and high electrical resistivity—low dielectric loss materials. These three material groups, though chemically distinct, are all characterised by high crystallinity, thermal shock resistance, excellent chemical durability, and susceptibility to mechanical strengthening by ion-exchange techniques.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
