Noncrystalline (NC) solids, as is well known, lack the long range
order of crystals. Accordingly, they exhibit scattering, e.g.,
x-ray, electron, and neutron, but not the diffraction patterns
characteristic of crystals. The intensity distributions from NC
solids are usually transformed into radial distribution functions
(RDF), but the interpretation of the RDF's is not unique. The lack
of long-range order, and the non-uniqueness of the structural
interpretation, have constituted the main obstacles to the usual
solid state physics approach which has been so successful in
dealing with crystals. As a corrolary, questions of local order and
structure have frequently been de-emphasized. This monograph
contains a collection of chapters many of which emphasize
local-structure and chemical bonding as opposed to long-range
order. Most of the chapters were chosen from talks given at the
international symposium, "Structure and Bonding in Noncrystalline
Solids," held in Reston, Virginia in May of 1983. Other chapters,
however, were simply submitted independently of the Reston
conference. Thus, this book is not a proceedings of that
conference, nor was it ever intended to be. The chapters presented
here range from theory of bonding and structure, to structurally
oriented measurements of various kinds, e.g., ESR, Raman, to more
applied chapters. Our goal was to produce a monograph that enhances
understanding of the structures of NC solids.
