Ba2TiGe2O8 and Ba2TiSi2O8 pyroelectric glass-ceramics

Nanocrystallization of fresnoite glass. I. Nucleation and growth kinetics

“…Such glass-ceramics have been obtained by two methods. The first one consists in inducing surface crystallization with subsequent textured growth towards the specimens center, as demonstrated by Halliyal et al [4,17,18]. In the second one, glassceramics are prepared by electrochemical nucleation of melts, with electrodes inserted into a glass melt and a dc-potential of a few eV applied [2].…”

Effects of CaO on crystallization properties in BaO–SrO–TiO2–SiO2 glass–ceramics

“…These non-ferroelectric glass-ceramics with the crystalline phase in the residual glass matrix have a low dielectric coefficient, and high temperature and pressure stabilities. The glass-ceramic materials are easily fabricated into a large area, and do not have aging and depolarization problems [7][8][9][10]. Thus, the piezo-composites show a good potential for the applications in such sensors as hydrophone [7,12].…”

“…Piezoelectric materials have attracted more attention recently due to their piezoelectric, pyroelectric, nonlinear optical, and dielectric properties [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. The growth technology of the piezoelectric single crystals helps to develop the new piezoelectric glass-ceramics in the systems of LiNbO 3 , Ba 2 TiSi 2 O 8 , and Sr 2 TiSi 2 O 8 .…”

The influence of TiO 2 and ZrO 2 on microstructure and crystallization behavior of CRT glass

“…There are many methods by which fresnoite can be obtained e.g. electrochemically induced nucleation or controlled heat treatment [10][11][12][13][14][15]. These kinds of glass-ceramics have excellent pyroelectric properties and remarkable nonlinear optical properties, such as second harmonic generation and photoluminescence [16].…”
