Abstract

High pressures have a significant impact on the structure-related properties of glass and are encountered in scenarios ranging from fracture mechanics, where stresses in the gigapascal regime are easily generated by sharp-contact loading, to the manufacture of permanently densified materials with tuned physical characteristics. Here, we consider pressure-induced structural changes that occur in glass and show that, for oxide materials, the oxygen-packing fraction plays a key role in determining when these changes are likely to occur. Fivefold coordinated Si atoms appear as important intermediaries in the pressure-induced deformation of silica glass.
