…the following models: (1) the continuous random-network model, applicable to covalently bonded glasses, such as amorphous silicon and the oxide glasses, (2) the random-coil model, applicable to the many polymer-chain organic glasses, such as polystyrene, and (3) the random close-packing model, applicable to metallic glasses, such as Au_0.8Si_0.2 gold-silicon. These…
