Amorphous Silicates -- Time-Current Superposition and the Dynamics of Plastic Flow in the Glassy State
Matthieu Bourguignon, Gustavo A. Rosales-Sosa, Yoshinari Kato +4
Electron irradiation enables quantitative control over the plastic flow dynamics of silicate glasses, even far below the glass transition temperature. Through stress-relaxation exp…

Fracture initiation in silicate glasses via a universal shear localization mechanism
Matthieu Bourguignon, Gustavo Alberto Rosales-Sosa, Yoshinari Kato +6
Shear bands lie at the root of fracture initiation in bulk metallic glasses and amorphous polymers. For silicate glasses, in contrast, studies have largely emphasized permanent vol…
