51ZrF 4 16BaF 2 , 5LaF 3 .3AlF 2 ,.20Li.F5PbF 2 , glasses were pre‐pared with CdF, additions of 0, 2, 5, and 7.5 mol%. The glasses with 2 and 5 mol% exhibited controllable nucleation upon heat treatment above the glass transformation tem‐perature. The nucleation and crystallization of glasses with 5 mol% CdF, were characterized using bulk heat treat‐ments, differential scanning calorimetry, and scanning elec‐tron microscopy. The isothermal crystallization of nucleated glasses resulted in the formation of a glass‐ceramic that was transparent in the infrared (>70% transmission) and more resistant to fracture than typical fluoride glasses.
