A wide variety of measurement techniques are available to study crystallization behavior, from a thermal, chemical and structural standpoint. In this study, crystallization of zirconia from a sodium magnesium aluminosilicate glass was evaluated using a variety of different techniques, including x-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, Raman spectroscopy and x-ray nano-computed tomography. This talk will discuss the different kinds of insight on solubility, nucleation and growth, and microstructure provided from these measurements.
Neutron diffraction data were gathered using VULCAN, the Engineering Diffractometer at the Spallation Neutron Source at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
