Nanocrystallized glasses with the composition of $(50-x)BaO-xTiO_2-50SiO_2$ (x=10, 15, 16.7 and 20) have been prepared by heat-treatment at $T_x$ (crystallization onset temperature) for 3 h, and their optical properties, photoluminescence (PL), XRD and Raman spectra have been examined. The absorption edges of the glasses were red-shifted and the absorption coefficient increased with an increase of $TiO_2$. The glass subjected to the heat-treatment showed a dense formation of ${Ba_2}{TiSi_2}{O_8}$ crystals. The XRD and Raman results show that the nanocrystallized glasses formed fresnoite phase up to $TiO_2$ concentrations of 15 mol%. Further-more, blue luminescence with a peak at the wavelength of around 470nm was observed in the nanocrystallized glass, demon strating the optical multifunctional nanocrystallized material such as non-linear optics and photo-luminescence. It is thought that the blue luminescence from the ${Ba_2}{TiSi_2}{O_8}$ nanocrystallized glass originated from the presence of $Ti^{4+}$ incorporated into the fresnoite-type structure.

In the present paper some of the magnetic properties of the nanocrystalline Fe-based magnets produced by an appropriate annealing of their metallic glass precursors are reviewed. These properties are discussed on the grounds of their characteristics measured at the elevated temperatures. It is shown that the effective magnetostriction these magnets display, results from the competition among two contributions of the opposite sign originating from the individual magnetic phases, crystalline phase and the residual glassy matrix in which the nanocrystallites are embedded. It is also shown that at certain conditions the magnets considered expose superparamagnetic behavior and that their isothermal magnetization characteristics can successfully be used to calculate the distribution of the particle volumes. Application of the recently invented new genetic algorithm method, a powerful tool to calculate these distributions is, finally, presented.
