Intrinsic Nano-Ductility of Glasses: The Critical Role of Composition

Understanding, predicting and eventually improving the resistance to fracture for silicate materials is of primary importance to design tougher new glasses suitable for advanced applications. However, the fracture mechanism at the atomic level in amorphous silicate materials is still a topic of deba...
