In one convenient source readers are afforded extensive discussion of the interaction of gases with glasses and glassforming melts. Descriptions of experimental methods for obtaining data for other materials and gas combinations are included together with a thorough review of the theories behind the migration, dissolution and reaction of gas with solids and melts. From the materials provided in this book you will be able to design and construct your own experiments and measurement equipment. Additional material is provided on such topics as: measurements of gas diffusion; solubility; reactions; effects of gas on physical, chemical, and optical properties; applications; optical fibers; and vacuum devices from light bulbs to high technology vacuum tubes.
