Abstract
Selling a piece of glass to the customer means selling a set of properties at an appropriate price. The pricing is a result of productivity, competition, and marketing, not of scientific argumentation, and is therefore not discussed here. The properties of a material on the other hand depend on its chemical composition and once this has been chosen, chemical bonding defines the specific mutual arrangements of the atoms and their packing, i.e., the energetically preferred structure elements. In simple cases these are known from the investigation of crystalline samples, which are the equilibrium state of a solid material. The situation is more difficult for compositions that decompose into several different crystallographic phases. A simple linear approach of mixtures may often be insufficient for a reliable description of the properties.
