States of Aggregation, Thermodynamic Phases, Phase Transformations, and the Vitreous State

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Vitreous State

Abstract

In the present chapter, a phenomenological description of processes is given which can be observed during the cooling of glass-forming melts. Properties of the melts and the glasses are described together with the way of evolution of historically important ideas and suggestions concerning the nature of the vitreous state and the mechanism of glass formation. The basic definitions, derivations and equations, required for the theoretical interpretation of the experimental results, are introduced and discussed briefly to allow even non-specialists in glass science to follow in detail the conclusions to be derived later. The experimental results summarized in this chapter give the basis for a test and verification of the theoretical developments outlined in the following chapters.
