  Although glass has been manufactured and used for millennia, the understanding that the mechanism of their formation is distinct from that of the more common polycrystalline arrived only a few decades ago. The stakes are high as glassy and related disordered materials form some of the most economically important materials in such key technologies as data storage. With contributions from 24 global experts of diverse disciplines, this landmark book presents researchers with a modern, complete survey of glassy phenomena in many systems, based on firmly established characteristics of underlying molecular motion.
