Abstract
The diffraction patterns of both silica and germania glasses are consistent with a structure in which nearly all of the atoms belong to tridymite-like regions of up to about 20 angstroms or more that are bonded efficiently together in a manner analogous to that found in twinned crystals.Keywords
