We employed the Classical Nucleation Theory using a characteristic value of the pre-exponential constant and an average (temperature dependent) interfacial energy and derived an expression to estimate the maximum nucleation rates,Imax, as a function of the reduced glass transition temperatures,Tgr≡Tg/Tm(Tgis the laboratory glass transition temperature andTmis the melting point orliquidustemperature). The theoretical predictions were surprisingly good for 51 out of 54 silicate glass-formers tested and describe well the experimental trend thatImaxstrongly decreases with increasingTgr. This trend, in turn, explains the well-known fact that only silicate glasses having a relatively lowTgr,Tgr< 0.6, show internal homogeneous nucleation in laboratory time/sample-size scales.
