Whilst the structure of solid minerals can be readily determined from the periodicity of the crystallographic unit cell, the absence of long-range symmetry in glasses and melts means their “unit cell” is essentially of infinite extent. However, although structurally disordered, the atomic-scale arrangements in glasses and melts are not strictly random. As detailed in Henderson and Stebbins (2022, this volume), glasses typically exhibit a high degree of local chemical short-range order (SRO) in the form of well-defined coordination polyhedra...
