Amorphous solid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An "amorphous solid" is a solid in which there is no long-range order of the positions of the atoms. (Solids in which there is long-range atomic order are called crystalline solids or morphous). Most ...

Glass generally refers to hard, brittle, transparent material, such as those used for windows, many bottles, or eyewear. Examples of such solid materials include, but are not limited to, soda-lime gl...

It is important to understand that, although differences do exist between the properties of amorphous and crystalline solids, it is nevertheless broadly true that amorphous solids exhibit essentially the full range of properties and phenomena exhibited by crystalline solids.

In amorphous solids, the atoms and molecules are distributed randomly throughout the solid. ... In either case, it is the electrical bonds between the different atoms and molecules that hold the solids (and to some extent, liquids) together.

This study clarifies the flow properties of amorphous solids and should help improve modeling of these complex phenomena. The collective nature identified in the flow differs from usual proposed descriptions.

When quantized, the theory yields a description of the two level systems and Boson peak excitations that dominate the low temperature properties of amorphous solids."

Addressing the widespread misconception according to which glass is a liquid. ... The structure of vitreous and amorphous solids is based on short-range order. This has now become established beyond doubt. The bonding properties of atoms lead to the formation of defined subassemblies with a certain symmetry.
