" Structural Chemistry of Glasses" provides detailed coverage of
the subject for students and professionals involved in the physical
chemistry aspects of glass research. Starting with the historical
background and importance of glasses, it follows on with methods of
preparation, structural and bonding theories, and criteria for
glass formation including new approaches such as the constraint
model.
Glass transition is considered, as well as the wide range of
theoretical approaches that are used to understand this phenomenon.
The author provides a detailed discussion of Boson peaks, FSDP,
Polymorphism, fragility, structural techniques, and theoretical
modelling methods such as Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics
simulation. The book covers ion and electron transport in glasses,
mixed-alkali effect, fast ion conduction, power law and scaling
behaviour, electron localization, charged defects, photo-structural
effects, elastic properties, pressure-induced transitions,
switching behaviour, colour, and optical properties of glasses.
Special features of a variety of oxide, chalcogenide, halide,
oxy-nitride and metallic gasses are discussed.
With over 140 sections, this book captures most of the important
and topical aspects of glass science, and will be useful for both
newcomers to the subject and the experienced practitioner.
