The real part of the dynamic shear compliance shows a step height ofapproximately a factor of 2.6 for Pd_(40)Ni_(40)P_(20), comparable to low molecular weight glassformers or the segmental mode as part of the glass transition in high molecular weight polymers. Thefrequency dependence of the imaginary part of the shear compliance at the high frequency side ofthe peak shows an exponent near the Andrade value of 1/3.

Thus, these centres were used as EPRprobes in P2O5-A(2)MO(4)-A(2)O (M=Mo, W and A=Li, Na). The M5+ ions are located in a distortedenvironment. Their symmetry is lowered as A(2)O content is high. In iron-dopped glasses Fe3+ centresoccupy distorted octahedra. The distortion extent is less than 7%. Radiation-induced defects havebeen detected, it is concerned with a PO42- centre and peroxy radicals.

Correlations between the local structureof polarizable entities within the glasses and their optical activities have been tentativelyestablished through a semi-empirical model and ab-initio calculations.

These games are treated as hierarchical statistical mechanical systems,in which one of the components is at negative temperature. [References: 13]
