Abstract

A diffuse interface theory (DIT) of nucleation is applied for the crystallization of various oxide glasses showing volume nucleation. It is demonstrated that, in contrast with the classical theory which often yields “anomalous” nucleation prefactors, the DIT is consistent with the experiments. A method is outlined for distinguishing homogeneous and volumetric heterogeneous nucleation mechanisms.
