Various kinetic parameters of the nucleation and crystallization in anorthite glass (CaO.Al2O3.2SiO2) were calculated by nonisothermal differential thermal analysis. Base glass and glass with TiO2 were prepared by melting. In base glass, the temperature where nucleation can occur ranges from 85$0^{\circ}C$ to 9$25^{\circ}C$ and the temperature for maximum nucleation was 900$\pm$5$^{\circ}C$. In glass with TiO2, the nucleation temperature range was 800~875$^{\circ}C$ and the maximum nucleation temperature was 850$\pm$5$^{\circ}C$. Kissinger equation, Bansal equation, and modified Ozawa equation were used for calculating activation energy for crystallization, Ec. The results showed the same activation energies for both glasses with and without TiO2 in the different equations. The shape of maximum exotherm peak and Ozawa equation were used for Avrami exponent, n. The n value for each glass was 2, indicating that each glass crystallized primarily by bulk crystallization.

Dense glass-ceramics for low firing temperature substrate were prepared by addition of CeO2 flux to the glass of MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 system. Glass powders were fabricated by melting at 150$0^{\circ}C$ and ball milling. Glass powder compacts were sintered at 800~100$0^{\circ}C$ for 3h. The crystallization and the shrinkage behaviors of glass powder compacts were analyzed by XRD, DTA and TMA. The shrinkage of glass powder compact increased with increasing the amount of CeO2. Because the softening temperature decreased and the crystallization temperature increased with increasing the amount of CeO2. Apparently, addition of CeO2 prevented formation of $\mu$-cordierite phase from the glass-ceramics and improved formation of $\alpha$-cordierite phase. Therefore crystallization properties were enhanced.

Joining of $Si_3N_4$ to $Si_3N_4$ with crystallized glass solder was studied. $SiO_2-Al_2O_3-MgO$ glass with $P_2O_5$ as a crystallizing reagent was used as a solder. To improve the hish temperature toughness of joined specimen, two stage heat treatment was applied to Joined sample for the crystallization of joined layer, Two factors, i.e. thickness of soldered layer and crystallization were taken and thier effects on joining strength were investigated by a SEM-EDX observation of joined interface and bending strength both at room and elevated temperatures. Obtained results are summarized as follows: (1) Nitrogen diffused from $Si_3N_4$ to solder during the Joining process. Average amount of nitrogen in soldered layer depended on the thickness of the soldered layer and increased with decrease of the thickness. (2) Joining strength of the specimen having a thinner soldered layer was stronger than that of thicker layer. This can be mainly attributed to the difference of the nitrogen content in the soldered layer. (3) Higher content of nitrogen in solder brought forth higher viscosity of the solder. Hence the crystallization of the solder become more difficult in thinner layer of the solder than thicker one. (4) Thus, the effect of crystallization was evaluated mostly by the thicker layer specimen. Crystallization of soldered layer improved markedly the fracure strength of joining at higher temperatures than the softening temperature of glass solder.

This paper presents results and observations obtained from a study of sintering behavior and crystallization in $Li_2O-Al_2O_3-SiO_2$ (LAS) Glass by screen printing method. The variable experimental conditions were determined carefully by Thermal-Mechanical Analyzer (TMA), Differential Thermal Analyzer (DTA) for setting the optimum transparent sintering conditions in LAS glass system, $10.5Li_2O-14.7Al_2O_3-58.1SiO_2-16.7B_2O_3(wt%)$, such as glass-ceramics which usually have low crystallization temperatures. Crystallization glasses generated during sintering was observed from diffraction patterns by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), transmittance by UV-Vis spectrometer. Finally, the optimum sintering condition of LAS glass and the relation between factors and results in several sintering conditions were given by using Response Surface Methodology (RSM). From this study, we confirmed that crystallization interrupted densification during glass powder sintering. Furthermore, we observed that main effect of factors in glass powder sintering with concurrent crystallization depended on experimental conditions from main effects plot by MINTAB-14.

An electric field was applied to a Mo conductive layer in the sandwiched structure of $glass/SiO_2/Mo/SiO_2/a-Si$ to induce Joule heating in order to generate the intense heat needed to carry out the crystallization of amorphous silicon. Polycrystalline silicon was produced via Joule heating through a solid state transformation. Blanket crystallization was accomplished within the range of millisecond, thus demonstrating the possibility of a new crystallization route for amorphous silicon films. The grain size of JIC poly-Si can be varied from few tens of nanometers to the one having the larger grain size exceeding that of excimer laser crystallized (ELC) poly-Si according to transmission electron microscopy. We report here the blanket crystallization of amorphous silicon films using the $2^{nd}$ generation glass substrate.

Nucleation and crystallization of $\beta$-eucryptite in a glass of molecular percentage composition Li2O.Al2O3.2SiO2 are studied. The glasses are made by quenching of the melts from 143$0^{\circ}C$ to room temperature. Heat-treatment for nucleation and crystal growth are caried out at various temperature in the range between 50$0^{\circ}C$ and 80$0^{\circ}C$ with different duration of time. The amounts of crystallization are estimated by the method of x-ray powder diffraction. As the results a time-temperature-transformation relation for crystallization is derived. The maximum rate of crystallization is observed at about 75$0^{\circ}C$ from the T-T-T-curve while the crystallization temperature is detected at 67$0^{\circ}C$ by DTA measurement. The crystallization temperature moved to 62$0^{\circ}C$ by adding 5 weight percents of TiO2 and it moved to 78$0^{\circ}C$ by adding 2 weight percents of V2O5. The crystallization temperature moved to 62$0^{\circ}C$ by adding 5 weight percent of TiO2 it moved to 78$0^{\circ}C$ by adding 2 weight percents of V2O5 The activation energy for crystallization from the pure glass is calculated as 68 Kcal/mol and it varied to 53 Kcal/mol and 110Kcal/mol when 5 weight percents of TiO2 and weight percents of V2O5 are added respectively.

The effects of temperature and of $Na_2O$ and $SiO_2$ contents on the crystallization of zeolite A were studied, by examining crystallization curves and particle size distributions of final products at various crystallization conditions. Crystallization process could be simulated adopting the assumptions of constant linear growth rate and equilibrium between amorphous solid phase and soluble species. Rate constants were determined by comparing the simulated crystallization curves with experimental data. Rate constant for linear growth increased with temperature and crystallization rate at different mole ratio of $Na_2O/H_2O$ correlated reasonably well with increase of soluble species. The rate constant of crystallization did not increase with increase in mole ratio of $Na_2O/H_2O$, but the rate of nuclei formation and the fraction of soluble species were enhanced. The rate constants for linear growth of zeolite A were determined as $0.07{\sim}0.24{\mu}m{\cdot}min^{-1}$ at these experimental conditions Apparent activation energy was estimated as $49kJ{\cdot}mol^{-1}$.

Glass ceramics for crown were prepared by adding 3$\sim$11 wt% TiO2 to the weight percent composition of 34.7 CaO, 27.8 SiO2, 18.3P2O5, 12.6MgO and 6.6 TiO2. The starting glasses were prepared by melting the powdered batch in alumina crucible at 1350$\sim$1400 for 1 hr and then quenching into a distilled water. The nucleation and crystallization of the crystalline glass ceramics for crown were studied by DTA, SME and X-ray diffraction analysis. Frit containing 9.11 wt% TiO2 had crystallization temperature of 850$\sim$1075 and major crystalline phase was identified by X-ray diffraction as diopside(CaO-MgO-2SiO2). Activation energies for the crystallization processes were obtained from DTA by varing rates for the fits, and were calculated from modified Ozawa and Kissinger equations. Activation energy for the crystallization processes of the S-4 frit was 489.6 KJ/mol.

The effects of $Al_2O_3$ on the crystallization behavior of glass compositions in the $Na_2O$-CaO-$SiO_2$ system were investigated by differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effect of $Al_2O_3$ content on the mechanical properties, density, phase formation, and microstructures of $Na_2O$-CaO-$P_2O_5$-$SiO_2$ glass ceramics were studied. The thermal parameters of each glass were studied by DTA. The density of the glass ceramic samples was measured by Archimedes' method. It was found that the glass-ceramic containing 2.0 molar percent $Al_2O_3$ had desirable sintering behavior and reached an acceptable density. Phase investigation and micro-structural analysis were performed by XRD and SEM, respectively.

A 355 nm (3.5 eV) neodymium:yttrium aluminum gamet laser, produced by a harmonic generator, was used to create silver metallic particles as seeds for nucleation in photosensitive glass containing Ag+ and Ce3+ ions. The pulse width and frequency of the laser were 8 ns and 10 Hz, respectively. Heat treatment was conducted at 570 C for 1 h, following laser irradiation, to produce crystalline growth, after which a LiAlSi3O8 crystal phase appeared in the laser-irradiated Li2O A1203 SiO2 glass. For the Present study, we compared the effect of laser-induced crystallization on glass crystallization with that of spontaneous crystallization by heat treatment.
