Mixed Network Former Effect In Ion-Conducting Glasses In a glass system with fixed network modifier content: How do the physical properties change when we vary the network former composition ? Often these changes are non-linear, requiring fundamental understanding on a structural basis

Structural Issues Regarding the Mixed-Network Former Effect • Network former speciations • Coordination polyhedra • Types of anionic and neutral species present • Connectivity distributions • Random Linkages ? • Connectivity Preferences ? • Clustering/Phase separation ? • Competition for the network modifier • Proportional sharing vs. preferential attraction • Relation to physical properties
