The papers in this book cover intrinsic or deliberately induced defects in the form of impurities and dopants (atomic, ionic, molecular. . .), short range order (point defects, wrong bonds, wrong coordination. . .), intermediate range order (rings, rafts, cages. . .) and extended defects (voids, internal and external surfaces. . .). Many of the defects are induced by radiations, ranging in energy from meV to MeV and including infrared, visible, U.V., X-ray, {gamma}-ray, electrons, protons and neutrons. The materials covered include oxide, halide and chalcogenide bulk glasses, xero gels, fibres and amorphous thin films. The full extend of materials covered can be judged from entries in the Subject Index. The papers reflect interest in structure, bonding, kinetics, mechanisms of formation, modeling, computer simulation, relation to device performance and methods of characterization. The latter include electron microscopy, liquid chromatography, transport properties, and the following spectroscopies: nuclear magnetic resonance, electron spin resonance, optical absorption, luminescence, infrared, Raman, X-ray absorption and Mossbauer. There is an extensive discussion of the causes of color in glasses, many of which are related to the kinds of defects considered in this symposium.
