Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
Following our recent experimental measurements of the detailed structure of several silicate and phosphate glasses, it is clear that the structures of these glasses and similar crystals exhibit some striking similarities. This has encouraged the development of a so-called stereo-chemically defined model which incorporates structural principles applying to both phases. There are also many known differences between structures of glasses and crystals and the intention of this work is to select examples for which measurement of the structure of the glass and comparison with the crystal could reveal in more detail the principles underlying the relationship between the structures of the two phases. The principal experimental techniques will be neutron scattering, differential anomalous x-ray scattering and electron energy loss spectroscopy.
