摘要: Abstract The use of X-ray and neutron diffraction techniques to investigate both short intermediate range order in glasses is briefly reviewed with an emphasis on the correct methods extracting structural parameters from experimental data. important role played by complementary modelling studies need for accurate quantitative comparisons between predictions models experiment are discussed. It concluded that modern experiments capable yielding data high quality which, when combined latest computer techniques, should considerably enhance present state knowledge concerning structure vitreous state.
