Crystalline lithium disilicate (Li<sub>2</sub>Si<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>, LS2) materials, which have excellent mechanical properties with high transparency, should be obtained efficiently through the crystallization of supercooled liquid composed of LS2. However, in addition to LS2, a lithium monosilicate (Li<sub>2</sub>SiO<sub>3</sub>, LS) phase is also precipitated during the crystallization of the liquid. The precipitation of the LS phase renders it difficult to obtain a single-phase LS2 mat ...[more]
