A glass ceramic based on the CaO-A12O3-BaO-MgO-B2O3 system was investigated using transmission electron microscopy in order to understand interactions among multiple oxide phases. The microstructure consisted of various crystalline and amorphous phases with stacking faults and dislocation loops in some of the crystalline phases. The microstructural development and phase assemblage of the complex system appeared to be related to defect-interface interactions during heating and cooling processes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
