Size-dependent brittle-to-ductile transition in silica glass nanofibers
Silica (SiO2) glass, an essential material in human civilization, possesses excellent
formability near its glass-transition temperature (T g> 1100° C). However, bulk SiO2 glass is …

Nucleation of plasticity in nanoparticle collisions
While at small collision velocities collisions of nanoparticles (NPs) are elastic, they become
plastic at higher velocities. We study the elastic-plastic threshold and the onset of plasticity …

[HTML][HTML] The elastic–plastic transition in nanoparticle collisions
When nanoparticles (NPs) collide with low velocities, they interact elastically in the sense

Fluid-like surface layer and its flow characteristics in glassy nanotubes
We show that amorphous silica and Si nanotubes can flow at room temperature under Giga-
Pascal order stress when going to the nanometer scale. This creep behavior is unique for …
