Cover Story: Controlled oriented crystallization of glass surfaces is desired for high-precision applications, since the uppermost crystal layer significantly influences the properties of the glass ceramic. Surface crystallization of barium fresnoite glasses of the molar composition 2 BaO–TiO2–2.75 SiO2 at 825 °C in ambient/dry air, argon or vacuum led to the formation of fresnoite (Ba2TiSi2O8) crystals with a different size, morphology, and orientation. These changes correlated with changes in the humidity of the annealing atmosphere due to a decrease in viscosity. The least distorted crystals appear as depressions of up to 6 μm. This developed topography is changing the crystal orientation during growth relative to the flat glass surface and is therefore acting as a driving force for orientation. View this paper
