Chapter
Transport, Relaxation and Absorption in Amorphous Semiconductors
The response of non-crystalline semiconductors to alternating fields from d.c. to microwave frequencies is reviewed. Theoretical treatments appropriate to various physical models are outlined and the degree to...

Chapter
Coherent Phenomena in Glasses
Concepts underlying and experiments revealing coherent phenomena in glasses and other disordered solids are reviewed. The description of low energy excitations in glasses in terms of “two level systems” (TLS) ...

Chapter
Basic Amorphography
An account is presented of the quantification of amorphous network structures. Experimental techniques for the investigation of such structures are discussed and it is demonstrated that modern instrumentation ...

Chapter
Optical Properties of the Chalcogenide Glasses
Glasses containing group VI elements, other than oxygen, are essentially covalent and exhibit thermally-activated electrical conductivities which are analogous to those observed in intrinsic crystalline semico...

Chapter
Thermal and Acoustic Experiments in Low Temperature Glasses
The low-temperature thermal, acoustic and dielectric properties of glasses differ largely from those of corresponding crystals. Specific heat is enhanced and varies linearly with temperature, whereas thermal c...
