Glasses are materials that lack a crystalline microstructure and long‐range atomic order.
Instead, they feature heterogeneity and disorder on superstructural scales, which have …

Metal-organic framework glasses feature unique thermal, structural, and chemical properties
compared to traditional metallic, organic, and oxide glasses. So far, there is a lack of …

The equation of the Vickers indentation fracture (VIF) proposed by Moradkhani et al.(J. Adv.
Ceram. 2, 87–102 (2013)) has been used for the determination of indentation fracture …

Improving the fracture resistance of oxide glasses through adjustment of the chemical
composition remains a challenging task, although composition-mechanical property …

Humans primarily interact with information technology through glass touch screens, and the
world would indeed be unrecognizable without glass. However, the low toughness of oxide …

Glass-ceramics offer the opportunity to address the main disadvantage of oxide glasses,
namely low fracture toughness. The presence of crystals can improve the fracture toughness …

The superior reinforcement nature of Laves phases make them suitable for high-strength
applications. Therefore, investigations on the deformation and strength characteristics of …

The resistances of glasses to crack initiation and crack growth are both important
parameters for evaluating their mechanical performance. However, it is important to …

The role of Ga 2 O 3 in oxide glasses remains poorly understood compared to other network
forming oxides. To address this, we here study the structure and mechanical properties of …

Hard and strong transparent glass-ceramics (TGCs) can be used as cooktop plates,
telescope mirrors, armor materials, and screens for smartphones and tablets. In this work …
