Earlier Studies / Finding of Experimental Rules

1) Tg-Δ Rule (1990)

Glass Transition Temperature (Tg) of several inorganic glasses is in proportion to the local distortion of the structural units. --- site occupation of the “probe” atoms (Fe(III)) is possible from the slope of the straight line ---

2) Softening of Lattice Vibration (1990)

Quenching (softening) of Cu-site vibration takes place, without any exception, in high Tc-superconductors before the superconducting transition takes place.

3) Radiation effect (1994)

Irradiation of inorganic glass with γ-rays or thermal neutrons causes a reduction or an oxidation of the “probe” atoms, depending on the site occupation --- site occupation of the “probe” atoms is possible from the irradiation effect ---

4) Debye temperature (1996)

Debye temperature (θ_D) can determine the site occupation of the “probe” atoms (Fe, Sn) in several inorganic glasses.
