verbdevitrifies, devitrified, devitrifying diːˈvɪtrɪfʌɪdiˈvɪtrəˌfaɪ
  • (with reference to glass or vitreous rock) become or make hard, opaque, and crystalline.

    no object glasses are not particularly stable materials, and in the course of time they devitrify
    bands of devitrified glass
    Example sentencesExamples
    • There was also some devitrifying glass that needed the same epoxy infusion as that in the Easter Morning window.
    • According to Aghabawa, the rhyolites were extruded as siliceous lava, which solidified as glass and was subsequently devitrified.
    • They have a porphyritic texture with prismatic plagioclase phenocrystals, small, aciculate plagioclase crystals and a partially devitrified, near-opaque matrix.
    • The tendency of glass to devitrify is a result of the atoms moving from a higher to a lower energy state.
    • Thunder eggs with minimal or no external ribs and of a comparatively uniform spherical shape (locally known as ‘cannon balls’) are composed only of siliceous, devitrified rhyolite without a central cavity.
    • Because of their tendency to crystallize (devitrify), most natural terrestrial glasses are geologically young.
    • These ashes would rapidly hydrate and devitrify, yielding highly soluble sodium silicates that produce silica gels, clinoptilolite, and montmorillonite.
    • Broken and devitrified pieces were glued and consolidated, and the painted areas received some infill painting to restore the overall look.
    • I think it might need another fusing, though it worries me a bit, because that will be number 4 (first one is when it's made), and this glass might devitrify.

Derivatives

  • devitrification

  • noun diːvɪtrɪfɪˈkeɪʃ(ə)n
    • High-viscosity silica gel produced by the hydration and devitrification of volcanic ashes can eventually concentrate in any open space, such as the cast of a limb.
      Example sentencesExamples
      • The presence of glass 4 billion years old on the Moon indicates that water is crucial to the rate of devitrification.
      • These structures may be evidence of early nucleation and devitrification (with corresponding vapor formation) that preceded that in the surrounding host rhyolite.
      • It has been proposed that the latter formed either as residual gas bubbles in the rhyolite or from coalesced volatiles derived by the devitrification process in the still-hot lava.
      • All melt inclusions and matrix glasses chosen were completely glassy, i.e. they had not undergone any devitrification and did not contain microlites or microphenocrysts.
