TLDR
In this article, the authors compared the diffraction data at the smaller scattering vectors, Q, with simulated X-ray and neutron diffraction patterns for compositionally similar crystals and suggested that the smaller Q features in the glasses have similar structural origins to those in the scattering data for the crystals with the same composition.
Abstract
Neutron scattering data have been obtained for a strontium- and a barium-containing silicate glass and a strontium aluminosilicate glass. These data are compared with previously published anomalous wide-angle X-ray scattering data for the Sr-containing glasses. Features in the diffraction data at the smaller scattering vectors, Q , are compared with simulated X-ray and neutron diffraction patterns for compositionally similar crystals. Peaks are found at Q s close to the `first sharp diffraction peaks' of the glasses and have a cation–cation dependence. We suggest that this correspondence shows that the smaller Q features in the glasses have similar structural origins to those in the scattering data for the crystals with the same composition and therefore that the medium-range structures and cation–cation arrangements in the glasses are similar too.

The origin of the first sharp diffraction peak in the structure factor of covalent glasses and liquids

TL;DR: In this paper, the first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP) in the structure factor of network glasses and liquids is a pre-peak in the concentration-concentration structure factor due to the chemical ordering of interstitial voids around cation-centred clusters in the network structure.
