Abstract
The interstitial structure of vitreous silica and related materials is in a difficult size range for evaluation. Diffraction and spectroscopic techniques are generally limited to more local structural descriptions (bond lengths, coordination numbers, defect structures, etc.). Electron microscopy surveys somewhat larger geometry (e.g., phase separation). A careful analysis of the diffusion and solubility of inert gas atoms and molecules provides an experimental probe for interstitial structure. Such information is of substantial interest because of the basis for structural classification (in the manner of Bernal’s canonical hole model2 of liquid structure). There is also a close connection to some commercially important processes, such as the thermal oxidation of silicon.
