Abstract

Fresnoite-type nanocrystallized 2.0SrO-1.0TiO2-2.9SiO2 glass was prepared by the conventional melt-quenching method. With Maker fringe patterns of several annealing conditions, the time-dependence and temperature-dependence of crystallization dynamics was discussed. The UV-Vis-IR measurements showed that its transmittance decreased with the increasing of annealed temperature, which indicated the appearance of crystallite phase in glass. Different trends of Maker fringe patterns corresponding with different crystallization process were discussed, which was also confirmed by XRD and SEM measurements. Maker fringes measurements can be performed not only as a second-harmonic generation characterization method but also as a means to study the crystallization process in glass..
