Fig. 1. Crystallization of glass samples for in situ precipitation of SrAl 2 O 4 crystallites. (a) and (b) DSCs of B25–B40 samples (T c 1 and T c 2 represent two crystallization peaks of glass, respectively). (c) XRD patterns of different B 2 O 3 doping; inset presents glass sample picture. (d) Tra spectrum of B25–B40 glass samples. (e) and (f) FTIT and FTIA spectra of glass samples, respectively. (g) Structure schematic representation of the samples. (h1)–(h6) The microcrystals patterns of SrAl 2 O 4 crystallites of B30 sample, in which (h1) and (h3) are SEM patterns of glass surface; (h2) shows the size distribution of the crystallite’s particles; (h4) is TEM observation; (h5) and (h6) are HRTEM observations.
