Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((NAII,volume 90))

Abstract

The main objective of this article is to provide an up-to-date presentation of the structural models of inorganic glasses. First of all, a glass will be defined from the glass transition temperature and the main elements of the glass classification will be shown. Then, characterization of a disordered structure as glass, will be divided, depending on the range order, in two parts: the short-range order, constituted of basic structural units and, the medium-range order, constituted of superstructural units in a scale ranging from the dimension of the basic structural unit to scales of at least 2-5 nm. Almost all types of used techniques will be mentioned to illustrate selective information which can be obtained on different composition of glasses. In addition recent advances in optical glasses will also be provided.
