Ideas for fixes
[edit]This article should start with a simple introduction that cites the articles about Supercooling and Glass_transition.
The basic idea is that is the glass transition temperature is often lower than the melting point, so in order to form a glass you need to cool fast enough to reach the glass transition temperature before the liquid crystalizes. To analyze this you need to plot crystallization rate as function of temperature.
This requirement is true for network glasses, but it also applies to other systems such as metallic_glasses and supercooled organic liquids, so the article should have a general introduction before describing spcific systems. 89.23.239.207 (talk) 08:10, 11 December 2024 (UTC)
