Structural, photocatalytic, and dielectric properties of glass-ceramics

Abstract

Glass-ceramic materials have attracted significant interest due to their tunable structure and multifunctional properties, making them suitable for advanced technological applications. In this study, glass-ceramics were synthesized using the melt-quenching method followed by controlled heat treatment to induce crystallization. Structural investigations were carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), revealing the formation of well-dispersed crystalline phases embedded within an amorphous glassy matrix.
