Random Vector Statistical Studies of Amorphous Materials

摘要: The lack of translational symmetry in amorphous solids restricts the amount information obtainable from direct diffraction studies glass structure. It also complicates manner which structure can itself be conveniently and concisely described. Because these difficulties it is necessary to apply all available experimental theoretical techniques solution this problem. presence a quadrupole moment at its nucleus allows variation boron sites studied by nuclear magnetic resonance. This not case for silicon thus an added dimension given structural borate glasses. Although glasses major or only former are rare, very important ingredient large number commercial this, because interesting sometimes anomalous properties shown glasses, their continues special scientific technological interest.
