Better understanding of intermediate-range ordering in the glass network structure has resulted in significant progress since Zachariassen's random network structure model of oxide glasses. To set a foundation, we first breifly review, by no means exhaustively, some of the significant findings that demonstrate the existence of local structure or moieties in molten glass for both single and multi-component oxide systems, Melt structures, to a great extent, can be studied using a super cooled liquid or glass.
