What's the difference between leucite and leucitic?
Leucite
Definition:
(n.) A mineral having a glassy fracture, occurring in translucent trapezohedral crystals. It is a silicate of alumina and potash. It is found in the volcanic rocks of Italy, especially at Vesuvius.
(n.) A leucoplast.
Example Sentences:
(1) Quantitative x-ray diffraction was performed on the fast- and slow-cooled porcelain specimens with standards containing leucite volume fractions of 0.111, 0.223, 0.334, and 0.445.
(2) Recently introduced with pleasing aesthetic qualities, IPS-Empress (Ivoclar, Schaan, Liechtenstein), a new European leucite-reinforced glass-ceramic, has finally drawn attention in some journals and has been reviewed with promising in vitro test results.
(3) Unpaired, one-tailed t tests were performed on the fast- and slow-cool data, and a significant increase (p less than 0.05) in the amount of leucite (as a function of the slow cooling) was found for each of the porcelains.
(4) A better understanding of compatibility of alloy and ceramic during refiring schedules based upon leucite phase transformations and the ramifications for porcelain failure is emerging.
(5) Besides low leucite and glass, we have found a second crystalline phase in the sintered and slow-cooled porcelains that we propose to be potash feldspar (K2O.Al2O3.6SiO2).
(6) The present study was undertaken to determine whether the increase in porcelain thermal expansion might be attributable to crystallization of additional leucite during slow cooling of the porcelain.
(7) Ceramography confirms the martensitic (displacive) nature of the transformation from high (cubic) to low (tetragonal) leucite upon cooling.
(8) X-ray diffraction analyses verified the leucite content in metal ceramic systems and ceramics of the nonbonded systems.
(9) The chief ingredient of each porcelain was leucite (K2O .
(10) Comparing the metal ceramic systems with the nonbonded systems, an increase in leucite content was observed in the nonbonded systems.
(11) Most commercial dental porcelains designed for ceramo-metallic restorations are partially crystallized feldspathic glasses (glass-ceramics) that consist of low (tetragonal) leucite (K2O.Al2O3.4SiO2) crystals embedded in a glassy matrix.
(12) The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that high-leucite content feldspathic porcelain can be strengthened best by thermal tempering followed by ion exchange, compared with either thermal tempering or ion exchange alone.
(13) The increases in the leucite volume fractions resulting from the slow cooling ranged from a low of 8.5% to a high of 55.8%, with an average increase of 26.9%.
(14) The structure analysed in the scanning electron microscope showed leucite in the dendritic and idiomorphic form.
(15) Some other components were metal oxides used as pigment and opaque, for regulating the recrystallization of leucite in the fused porcelain, for controlling the thermal expansion, and for diffusing in the both sides of alloy and porcelain.
(16) The dentine materials of the metal ceramic systems VMK 68 and Biodent as well as the ceramics of all ceramic systems Duceram, Cosmotech, Optec, IPS-Empress and Corum were tested for their leucite content.
Leucitic

(a.) Containing leucite; as, leucitic rocks.
