Glassy materials have been used by man since prehistoric times [1,2] and nowadays are ubiquitous in our daily live. There are of course the classical technical applications in, e.g. architecture (windows),for containers or for optical components. However, recently glassy materials have also gained increasing importance in quite different fields, e.g. communication technique (optical fibres) or medicine (bioactive implants). The modern definition of glass as a non-crystalline solid includes also the large group of the polymers and glass ceramics, but also more exotic materials as amorphous metals, which are believed to have a great technological future. Glasslike behaviour is also found in some crystalline materials, the so-called plastic crystals and orientational glasses, which at low temperatures are characterized by static disorder with respect to the orientational degrees of freedom of the translationally ordered molecules [3]. These materials are often considered as model systems for “conventional” glass formers and they are much simpler to treat in theoretical and simulation approaches to the glassy state.
