Geometrical Considerations in Glass
JSGT 1940 V24 T159-T175
On the basis of the X-ray patterns and assumptions as to the coordination between the oxygen atoms and those of silicon or boron, and with the ions Na+ or Ca2+ theoretical principles are discussed governing glass versus crystal formation; miscibility or immiscibility in glasses and anomalies in certain physical properties of glasses. The simple glasses soda-silica, lime-silica, and soda-boric oxide serve as illustrations in the views expressed.
