He unravels thescientific mysteries surrounding the topic, replacing rather vaguenotions of amorphous materials as disordered crystalline solidswith the well-founded concept of ideal amorphous solids. Aclassification of amorphous materials into inorganic glasses,organic glasses, glassy metallic alloys, and thin films sets thescene for the development of the model of ideal amorphous solid
