Glasses and the Vitreous State (Cambridge Solid State Science Series)
By Jerzy Zarzycki.
Description
This book provides an up-to-date and comprehensive coverage of the properties of glasses as materials and of the vitreous state in general. Aspects of the physics, chemistry and thermodynamics of the vitreous state are developed, covering in particular the definitions of vitreous transition, fictive temperature and various vitrification criteria, both structural and kinetic. The methods of describing disordered structures are then presented in terms of different models, followed by a review of various spectroscopic and radiation scattering techniques (X-rays, neutrons) of disordered structu...
