Description

Glass, which is a non-crystalline transparent amorphous solid, finds extensive applications in practical, decorative, and technological spheres. The study of glass characteristics and properties fall under the field of glass physics. Glass transition denotes the reversible and gradual shift in amorphous liquids from a brittle, glassy state to a viscous one, occurring with increased temperature. The temperature at which this transition occurs is termed the glass transition temperature. Glass defects are pivotal within glass physics, with broad applicability across domains such as computer science, biophysics, and soft condensed-matter physics. This book aims to provide deep knowledge about the subject of glass physics. The various aspects within this area of study along with the technological progress that have future implications are glanced at in this text. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this textbook.
