This study uses the longer nucleation time at 948 K, and the previous study10 used shorter-time nucleation data at low temperatures for 5BaO∙8SiO2 glasses. a The driving free energy used as a function of temperature. b The interfacial free energy obtained as a function of temperature. c The scaled nucleation barrier obtained as a function of temperature. d The natural logarithm of the product of the steady-state nucleation rate and the induction time for the critical size at the nucleation temperature, as a function of the reciprocal of the product between temperature and the square of driving free energy. The errors were calculated using the 95% confidence intervals of the steady-state nucleation rate and the induction time. The red symbols represent the values obtained in the previous study10 (reproduced from ref. 10 with permission from Elsevier). Tg is the glass transition temperature.
