Abstract
Given that the nucleation-growth-crystallization process in silicates that gives rise to the material in the glass-ceramic state is not a straightforward process, but the system goes through intermediate phases before reaching the most stable phase, we propose the application of in situ measurements at high pressures and high temperatures to study the thermodynamic properties, not yet known, of each of the stable or metastable phases of two types of model systems of silicate glass: one nucleating heterogeneously, (lead metasilicato) and another presenting homogeneous nucleation (barium silicate). In addition to addressing these open scientific issues, which is essential for understanding the crystallization process, the search for external conditions - such as the application of high pressures and temperature - that are capable of inducing changes in the energy of each intermediate phase present in the process opens up the possibility of establishing new pathways of crystallization, by controlling the clusters microstructure through the stabilization of different crystalline phases, and hence opening pathways to new properties for the resulting glass-ceramic materials. From the acquisition of a high-pressure cell to be coupled to the Raman systems currently operational, we propose the application of in situ Raman spectroscopy techniques under extreme thermodynamic conditions combined with diffraction measurements, as the most appropriate tools for addressing these physical problems.
