Glass-ceramic technology is promising to provide us with materials of high strength, high toughness, unique electrical/electronic or magnetic properties, exceptional optical or unusual thermal or chemical properties. The greater diversity of microstructure-property arrangements and processing routes over glasses and ceramics are responsible that glass-ceramics are the preferred choice of materials in many technical, consumer, optical, medical/dental, electrical/electronic, and architectural fields. This includes increasing uses of glass-ceramic materials for environment and energy applications in the last decades. The positive development of glass-ceramic technology has become true in particular due to the pioneering spirit, resourcefulness, and courage of researchers of the first generation. Extraordinary and, therefore, to be distinguished is the work of the glass-ceramic inventor S. Donald Stookey to whom this Research Topic is dedicated. The authors, all experts in the field of glass-ceramics and based in industry, academia and governmental institutions, contributed to this E-book under the guidance of the Technical Committee 07 "Crystallization and Glass-Ceramics" of the International Commission on Glass (ICG). 610 $aCrystal growth 610 $aNucleation agents 610 $anon-linear optic crystals 610 $asintering 610 $aion exchange 610 $aApatite 610 $acrystal pattering 610 $aceramming 610 $aglass-ceramic technology 610 $aheterogeneous and homogeneous nucleation 700 $aJoachim Deubener$4auth$01313334 702 $aWolfram Holand$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910227345603321 996 $aNucleation and Crystallization of Glasses and Glass-Ceramics$93031299 997 $aUNINA
