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.
Does an Acoustic Space exist? There are four arguments brought
forward in favour of the existence of a special acoustic space. The
first concerns the originallocalisation of the two places of the
riglit and left ear. It is clear that the tonic impressions without
the aid of optic-haptic perceptions are not related to the head, to
say nothing of ascertaining the existance of an acoustic space. The
second argument is the original localisation in the inside of the
skull. If this conception were correct, there could for every field
of the senses, the impressions of which are not localised in our
optic and haptic space, be ascertained special sense-spaces in
analogy with the acoustic space, e.g. a special temperature- and
pain-space. The third argument, the localisation of the subjective
acoustic im- pressions in the inside of the skull, is cancelled by
the proofs produced against the second argument. The fourth
argument, which has most claimed the interest of psy- chologists,
in favour of the existence of an acoustic space, bears upon the
supposed original spacious character of the acoustic impressions.
This is a new release of the original 1925 edition.
