The particular interest represented in this state-of-the art survey of amorphous materials is their electronic properties and device applications. The book is organized in five sections, starting with some more unusual aspects of structure. Section 2 deals with the area of self organization in glasses and how this relates to a glass"s rigidity. The next section surveys electronic states and transport phenomena. The fourth section deals with an area of photo-induced effects that has recently seen increased interest due to possible device applications. Finally, section 5 covers some properties specific to amorphous silicon and amorphous carbon.
