Physical Properties of Amorphous Materials

Part of the book series: Institute for Amorphous Studies Series ((IASS))

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the progression from the initial studies of atomic arrangements in amorphous materials to those which have become possible recently as a result of the availability of synchrotron radiation. I will tend to concentrate on the work that I know well, and pay less attention to those aspects of structure with which I am less familiar or to which my group has contributed less.
