Abstract
One of the most important causes of defective glass is crystallization, which is, after all, the equilibrium stage of the solidifying melt. From this viewpoint, the manufacture of glass is based on tricking the melt so that it will not attain the low-energy state it strives to assume. Whether one wishes to avoid crystallization or to control it, it is necessary to master theoretically the phenomena of nucleation and crystal growth.
