Abstract

The stochastic matrix method is used to describe the statistical processes that take place when a glass is formed. We stress the physical features of the model and the relevancy of the hypotheses made. The theory is applied to various types of binary and ternary chalcogenide glasses, and the predictions of the model are compared with the experimental data. We also reveal the influence of doping on the transition temperature. The theory is extended to the case of growing a disordered solid on a substrate.
