Abstract

Is your phone's screen cracked, or your car's windshield? Making tougher glass is an important challenge for applications. It is known that modifying the structure of an amorphous solid at high pressure and temperature yields properties unattainable under normal conditions, but deeper physical insight is crucial for designing damage-resistant glasses. In studying modifier-free quaternary glasses, the authors establish a unified picture of the role of atomic structure in opposing densification, demonstrating that crack resistance can be controlled at the atomic scale.
