Flexibility of network materials and the Rigid Unit Mode model: a personal perspective

The Rigid Unit Mode model was initially developed to understand the origin of displacive phase transitions in network silicate structures. Here, we review the successes of the model, and consider how it might apply to a wider range of network structures. This article is part of the theme issue '...

Description
Summary:	The Rigid Unit Mode model was initially developed to understand the origin of displacive phase transitions in network silicate structures. Here, we review the successes of the model, and consider how it might apply to a wider range of network structures.
