Nucleation and growth behavior of Er 3+ doped oxyfluorophosphate glasses

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

= 0 and Zn glasses due to their stronger field strength. The crystal growth rates were determined and validated using SEM. Finally, we showed that the nucleation and growth of glasses can be controlled due to the large difference between onset of crystallization and maximum nucleation temperature which is crucial when preparing novel transparent glass-ceramics.
