Abstract

Glass-crystallisation synthesis is coupled to probe structure prediction for the guided discovery of new metastable oxides in the SrO-Al₂O₃-SiO₂ phase field, yielding a new ternary ribbon-silicate, Sr₂Si₃O₈. In principle, this methodology can be applied to a wide range of oxide chemistries by selecting an appropriate non-equilibrium synthesis route.
