Abstract

An axial magnetic field of 0.1 T was applied to ZrF4–BaF2–LaF3–AlF3NaF fibers during heating to the glass crystallization temperature. Scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction were used to identify crystal phases. It was shown that fibers exposed to the magnetic field did not crystallize, while fibers not exposed to the field did crystallize. A hypothesis based on magnetic work was proposed to explain the results, and was tested by measuring the magnetic susceptibilities of the glass and crystal.
