Till now the only effective method of direct determination of structural parameters has been X-ray diffraction structural analysis. This method applied to crystalline materials has proved a great success and applied to noncrystalline substances like for example inorganic glasses, is becoming more and more successful.
Beginning with the W. Ostwald proposition /1913/ carried out by W. Friedrich /1913/ and P. Debye /1915/ through the papers by B.E. Warren et al. /1934–1942/ or by E.A. Poray-Koshits et al. /1934–1942/ till the most recently published papers devoted to structural studies of noncrystalline /amorphous/ materials we follow a significant progress in technology and methodology of these studies.
The resulting significant improvement to the accuracy of results yields much more accurate structural models of non-crystalline materials.
