Summary: This study demonstrates a relatively simple way to observe the complex kinetics of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) crystallization, different from the existing methods. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results confirm that the studied PLA mainly crystallizes in the Alpha and Alpha' forms. Interestingly, X-ray reflections stabilize with specific shapes and angles at different temperatures, indicating the coexistence and stability of both crystal forms. A two-component kinetic model is proposed to explain this phenomenon, and the deconvolution of exothermic DSC peaks using logistic derivative functions is employed. The presence of the rigid amorphous fraction (RAF) adds complexity to the crystallization process, but the two-component kinetic model can accurately reproduce the overall process over a wide temperature range. This method may be applicable to describing the isothermal crystallization processes of other polymers.

Summary: Polylactic acid (PLA) is a bio-based biodegradable polymer that is considered as an environmentally friendly alternative to petroleum-based polymers. This study investigated the effect of orotic acid as a nucleating agent on the crystallization behavior of PLA and developed a new method for quantitatively characterizing crystallization kinetics. The results showed that the addition of orotic acid significantly increased the crystallinity and crystallization rate of PLA, reduced the incubation time, and allowed the fabrication of highly crystalline PLA samples at lower mold temperatures.

Summary: The specific features of crystal nucleation have a significant impact on the morphology of the crystalline material. Due to their small size and stochastic nature, it is usually difficult to observe the development of nuclei directly. However, an experimental approach using fast scanning calorimetry has been developed to determine the specific features of the cluster size distribution. This approach allows for estimating the time evolution of the largest detectable clusters in the distribution and determining their radial growth rate.

Summary: In 1897, Ostwald proposed the Rule of Stages (ORS), which suggests that a system proceeds sequentially through metastable states. However, this paper examines the crystallization process of a polymorphic compound using classical nucleation theory and finds that ORS is not applicable in this specific case. The observed process is not sequential, but rather a parallel development of all metastable phases.

Summary: Tin halide perovskites are promising candidates for lead-free perovskite solar cells due to their low toxicity, ideal energy bandgap, high charge carrier mobility, and long hot carrier lifetime. However, the certified efficiency of tin halide PSCs has not yet reached the theoretical expectation, largely due to the poor quality of the perovskite films. This review focuses on the crystallization kinetics of tin halide perovskites, discussing methods for improving film quality and presenting current challenges and prospects.

Summary: Fast-scanning calorimetry was used to determine the viscosity of Zr-based bulk metallic glasses Vitreloy 105 and AMZ4, revealing that they are both strong liquids. The transition from fragile to strong was found to be larger for Vitreloy 105 than for AMZ4, in agreement with the inverse relation between transition factor and kinetic fragility of the strong regime.

Summary: No viscosity change is expected near the crystal/melt interface during crystal growth in silicate systems at constant temperature. However, experimental studies have shown the formation of an interfacial zone with altered viscosity. In this investigation, single crystals of Li2O.Al2O3 center dot 4SiO(2) (LAS4) grew in a slightly alumina deficient base glass, and the viscosity of the interfacial zone was found to be significantly lower than that of the base glass.

Summary: Isolated Na2O dot 2CaO dot 3SiO(2) (NC2S3) single crystals were grown at temperatures above the glass transition. The enrichment of Na in the continuous solid solution upon crystallisation causes a depletion of soda in the growing interfacial diffusion zone, resulting in a change in viscosity.

Summary: SiO2-TiO2 glasses produced by aerodynamic levitation coupled to laser heating or by sol-gel spray-drying were compared to highlight their structural differences. The presence of water in gel-derived glasses led to partial network depolymerization, increasing the solubility of TiO2. However, complete dehydration proved challenging due to a tendency towards devitrification during heating.

Summary: The melt viscosity of anhydrous and hydrous peridotite was studied using various techniques, including micropenetration viscometry, conventional DSC, flash DSC, and Brillouin spectroscopy. Raman spectroscopy measurements confirmed the absence of crystallization and degassing during high-temperature measurements, ensuring accurate data for crystal-free melt viscosity. An accurate description of peridotite melt viscosity was provided over a wide range of compositions and oxidation states. Due to variations in empirical models, a new model for temperature- and H2O-dependent viscosity was developed for peridotite melts (up to 12 mol% H2O content).

Summary: A Zr4+-containing sodium borosilicate glass (ZNBS) and a zirconium-free reference glass (NBS) were prepared by melt quenching. Thermal analysis revealed phase separation into boron- and silica-rich domains in both glasses. Annealing initiated the coarsening of these domains and the precipitation of t-ZrO2 in ZNBS glass. The coarsening kinetics of the silica-rich domains followed theoretical predictions, while the coarsening of t-ZrO2 crystallites was slower and confined by the domain structure.

Summary: The heterogeneous crystal nucleation of five glasses between lithium disilicate and lithium metasilicate was studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and high-temperature optical microscopy (HTOM). The crystal nucleation rate was highest for a glass with about 63 mol% silica, and the first crystallite consisted of intergrown lithium metasilicate and quartz. Primary crystallization of lithium disilicate was observed, treated as an oxygen-related artifact. The viscosity at the maximum nucleation rate was almost constant for each glass, while the liquidus temperature calculated from thermodynamic properties was lower than that extrapolated from DSC measurements.

Summary: An ultrabasic invert silicate glass was synthesized and used as host for transition metal dopants. Characterization techniques were employed to investigate the oxidation and coordination states of the dopants. Different dopants exhibited different oxidation states, with some displaying only their maximum oxidation state and others showing mixed valences. Reduction of oxygen content in the melting atmosphere led to the conversion of Cr6+ to Cr3+.

Summary: Although TiO2 is commonly used as a nucleating agent in the production of aluminosilicate glass-ceramics, its role as a catalyst for the nucleation of the functional crystal is still unclear. This study investigates the mobility of Ti, Al, and O in an albite melt, which serves as a surrogate for lithium and magnesium aluminosilicate glass-ceramic compositions. The results suggest a preferential structural linkage between Al and Ti species in the network structure of aluminosilicate melts.

Summary: Nanocrystallization in basalt melts and glasses can be triggered by undercooling-driven oversaturation in TiO2 and FeO, which can affect viscosity measurements and magma dynamics during decompression. Recent studies have shown that volcanic glasses can have nanoscale heterogeneities, which can develop both in the laboratory and during magma eruptions. This study identifies the total transition metal oxide content as a crucial factor governing the nanolitization tendency of basalt melts and glasses and discusses the different eruptive styles of Mt. Etna and Stromboli.

Summary: Although molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is a powerful tool for investigating the atomic-scale structures of complex materials, its reliable and accurate application to multi-component glass systems faces challenges due to limited force fields (FFs) and the complexity of chemical environments. This study demonstrates the feasibility of efficient and accurate large-scale density functional theory (DFT) calculations for multi-component glass systems. The evaluation of classical FFs based on the results of large-scale DFT calculations reveals low accuracy for non-bridging oxygen atoms, and differences in Si-O-Si angle distribution and electronic structure for X = Mg.

Summary: In this study, vanadium oxide xerogel samples were successfully synthesized through a liquid phase reaction and the interaction of films with water. The samples were thoroughly analyzed using X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy, revealing the existence of two distinct phases. It was also discovered that previous misinterpretations regarding the high-pressure polymorph structure were due to the formation of a high-temperature phase. These findings highlight the potential for further refining and expanding the current structural models of vanadium oxide xerogel in future research efforts.
