Other techniques




Other experimental techniques often employed to study the structure of glasses include Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) and other spectroscopy methods including Raman spectroscopy. Experimental measurements can be combined with computer simulation methods, such as Reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) or molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, to obtain more complete and detailed description of the atomic structure.

Pair distribution functions and structure factors

Image
The pair distribution function (or pair correlation function) of a material describes the probability of finding an atom at a separation r from another atom. A typical plot of g versus r of a liquid or glass shows a number of key features: At short separations (small r), g(r) = 0. This indicates the effective width of the atoms, which limits their distance of approach. A number of obvious peaks and troughs are present. These peaks indicate that the atoms pack around each other in 'shells' of nearest neighbors. Typically the 1st peak in g(r) is the strongest feature. This is due to the relatively strong chemical bonding and repulsion effects felt between neighboring atoms in the 1st shell. The attenuation of the peaks at increasing radial distances from the center indicates the decreasing degree of order from the center particle. This illustrates vividly the absence of "long-range order" in liquids and glasses. At long ranges, g(r) approaches a limiting value...

13)India's Republic Day 2021: Precisely how this year's celebration changes

India Republic Day -- Highlights -For the first time since 1966, you will have no chief guest inside Republic Day Parade. -The parade will be shorter this current year, instead of ending at the Crimson Fort, it will culminate with National Stadium. -The Mini stry of Information and Biotechnology will certainly depict the 'Vocal for Local' initiative of the government. India is all set to observe its 72nd Republic Time to honour the achievement of the Constitution of India which came into effect on Jan 26, 1950. Traditionally, often the highlight of Republic Time is the iconic parade in which showcases India’s military prowess and cultural heritage. Nevertheless this year, the commemoration is going to be slightly different on account of the outbreak and events in the past 12 months. Here is how Republic Day 2021 will be different: What cha nges are actually made for the parade on account of Covid? For the first time since 1966, there will be no chief guest in the Republ...
