Visualization of the critical scanning rates. Schema of the critical cooling rates (solid lines) and critical heating rates (dashed lines) in a TTT diagram. The curves represent the characteristics of growth and nucleation. a Critical cooling rate of a semi-crystalline glass (SCG); the growth behavior is characterized by the onset (solid) and the endset (dashed) curves. Also illustrated is the strategy of up-quenching to melt a previously frozen (semi-)crystalline state without any further structural changes upon rapid heating. b Critical cooling and heating rates for forming a self-doped glass (SDG). c Critical cooling and heating rates of a chemically homogeneous glass (CHG)
