Abstract

Characteristically, vitreous substances have a three-dimensional skeleton of covalently bonded atoms as in silica (SiO4/2) [1]. Such a skeleton, while stabilizing the material mechanically and chemically, also separates and thus weakens the interaction of the polar groups. These groups consist of ionized oxygen, boron or aluminium atoms connected directly by coulomb forces to the metallic cations (M+O”“SiO3/2, M+B-O4/2, and M+Al-O4/2). In contrast to crystals with typical ionic structures, the short-range forces of the covalent bonds predominate in the vitreous bodies in question and determine the short-range order of the atoms in such structural units as SiO4/2, BO3/2, B-O4/2, etc.
