Abstract
Substantial progress in decoding the structure of network glasses has taken place in the past few years. Diffraction methods /i/, vibrational spectroscopy /2/ and more recently a variety of Hyperfine Interaction methods like NMR /3/, NQR /4/ and Mossbauer spectroscopy /5/ have served as powerful experimental probes of glass structure. Crucial insights /6/ into the molecular structure of glasses have emerged by application of Raman bond and Mossbauer site spectroscopy. In this context, the complimentary role of each spectroscopy as a check on the interpretation of the other, is perhaps one of the more significant developments in the field. New advances /7/ in the theory of the subject have also taken place. It is thus appropriate to inquire what general principles if any, have emerged on the structure of real glasses? We review some of the principal ideas on the structure of inorganic network glasses with the aid of specific examples.
