074. 2SiO2 crystals growing in an isochemical glass are spherulitic; that is, they have a residual glass phase embedded within the fine crystal branches of the spherical crystallike regions. XRD experiments demonstrated for the first time that each region is only about 65% crystalline; that is, they are spherulitic. Thus, spherulites can indeed nucleate and grow in inorganic glasses; not only in polymers, as previously thought. Optical microscopy, transmitted light.
