Abstract: Optically transparent BaO-B2O3 (in mol%) system glass was successfully prepared by theconventional melting and quenching technique. After surface controlled crystallization, the grAlN-oriented transparent β-BaB2O3 (BBO) surface crystallized glass -ceramics were prepared. Inaddition, the polar-oriented growth kinetics of BaO-B2O3 glass was discussed.

Key words: glass surface, submicrometer glass-ceramics, glass crystallization
