Crystallization kinetics of a lithium zinc silicate glass studied by DTA and DSC

The crystallization kinetics of a lithium zinc silicate glass have been determined using isothermal and non-isothermal DSC and non-isothermal DTA. Values for the kinetic parameters for as-quenched and nucleated samples are reported and discussed. Particular reference is given to the similarities and differences noted between isothermally and non-isothermally derived data.
