Abstract
In contrast with the crystalline state characterized by long range order (LRO), i.e. by the existence of correlations between the positions of every two atoms situated as far as possible one from another, the non-crystalline state is characterized by the absence of the LRO. The remnant is not a total disorder but a certain limited order called short range order (SRO) defined by the inter-atomic correlations in the first coordination spheres of an arbitrary atom, i.e. up to the maximum distance where the bonding forces are acting.
