Stress-enhanced ion diffusion at the vicinity of a crack tip as evidenced by atomic force microscopy in silicate glasses
F. Celarie, M. Ciccotti, C. Marliere
The slow advance of a crack in sodo-silicate glasses was studied at nanometer scale by in situ and real time atomic force microscopy (AFM) in a well controlled atmosphere. An enhan…

Real-time observation of non-equilibrium liquid condensate confined at tensile crack tips in oxide glasses
L. Wondraczek, M. Ciccotti, A. Dittmar +3
Since crack propagation in oxide materials at low crack velocities is partly determined by chemical corrosion, proper knowledge of the crack tip chemistry is crucial for understand…

Crack fronts and damage in glass at the nanometer scale
C. Marliere, S. Prades, F. Celarie +4
We have studied the low speed fracture regime for different glassy materials with variable but controlled length scales of heterogeneity in a carefully mastered surrounding atmosph…
