Beschreibung
This handbook provides comprehensive treatment of the current state of glass science from the leading experts in the field. Opening with an enlightening contribution on the history of glass, the volume is then divided into eight parts. The first part covers fundamental properties, from the current understanding of the thermodynamics of the amorphous state, kinetics, and linear and nonlinear optical properties through colors, photosensitivity, and chemical durability. The second part provides dedicated chapters on each individual glass type, covering traditional systems like silicates and other oxide systems, as well as novel hybrid amorphous materials and spin glasses. The third part features detailed descriptions of modern characterization techniques for understanding this complex state of matter. The fourth part covers modeling, from first-principles calculations through molecular dynamics simulations, and statistical modeling. The fifth part presents a range of laboratory and industrial glass processing methods. The remaining parts cover a wide and representative range of applications areas from optics and photonics through environment, energy, architecture, and sensing.
Written by the leading international experts in the field, the Springer Handbook of Glass represents an invaluable resource for graduate students through academic and industry researchers working in photonics, optoelectronics, materials science, energy, architecture, and more.
Provides a comprehensive review of the rapidly expanding field of glass science Includes in-depth discussions of the amorphous state, from the basic thermodynamic principles to cutting-edge applications Covers a vast array of special topics and applications illustrating the wide use of glass in modern society Represents an indispensable reference for industry professionals, academic researchers, and students Written by the leading experts in the field Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

“A comprehensive handbook covering all the facets of this unique, fascinating material. The Springer Handbook of Glass includes more than fifty chapters each written by specialists in their respective fields. I hope that the outstanding efforts of this group of young editors will gain the recognition they deserve.” (Jacques Lucas, Honorary Director of the Glass and Ceramic Laboratory of the University of Rennes, Member of the French Academy of Sciences)
