Abstract
The relationship between intermediate-range order in glasses and disce rnible features in the diffraction pattern of glassy materials is demo nstrated experimentally by a direct comparison of the static-structure factors of a material in its liquid stable crystal, rotator-phase cry stal, orientational glass and amorphous phases. The orientationally di sordered crystalline phases appear as an intermediate ordering stage b etween the stable crystal and the glassy solid.
