Description
Summary:The principle of amorphous solids classification, which accounts the peculiarities of chemical bonding and defect formation, is suggested. Thus two basic classes are picked out: amorphous metals and glasses, where the main defect types are vacancies and quasimolecular defects accordingly. The general method for calculation of critical cooling rates from melts is regarded, based on the unite kinetico-thermodynamic approach to the amorphization process.
