' INTRODUCTION
Glasses form when crystals are unable to nucleate and grow to
visible proportions during the process of cooling the liquid from
its stable state to the nal temperature of the experiment, (taken
to lie below the glass transition temperature, Tg)1À4
Tg is com-
monly de ned as the temperature at which the heat capacity
of a glass starts to increase abruptly during steady heating at
