Abstract
In spite of a large amount of the literature on amorphous silicate structure studies and a significantly long time that has passed since the pioneer works of Lebiedev , Zachariasen, and Warren, there are still many doubts concerning the description of their structure. The selection of the correct research method allowing for a description of glass structure , specifically one that yields information on short-range order present in the amorphous state , seems to be especially important. In the framework of this manuscript, vibrational spectroscopy was proposed as a fundamental research method for describing the amorphous structure of glass materials. Interpretation procedures were also presented that enable obtaining the maximum amount of information on glass build on the basis of oscillation spectra.
