Read MoreNew book applies superior model to improve understanding of vitreous materialsOct 13, 2011Produced at an annual rate of 100 million tons, silicate glass is one of the most ubiquitous materials in the contemporary world. Attempts to understand its properties, as well as those of other vitreous solids, have lagged behind those of similar ordered solids because the properties are so unique. Dr. Westrum and Dr. Johnson argue that Debye's model, in use for decades, should be rejected because of its inappropriate assumption of a constant phase velocity despite evidence to the contrary. This volume describes the Phonon Dispersion Model and argues for its superiority through detailed application to a wide range of amorphous solids...
