Silica glass has been shown in numerous studies to possess significant capacity for
permanent densification under pressure at different temperatures to form high density …

This study aims to learn more about the structure of densified silica with focus on the
metamict-like silica phase (density= 2.26 g/cm3) by examining the formation of E'point …

Bioactive glass ionomer cements (GICs) have been in widespread use for∼ 40 years in
dentistry and medicine. However, these composites fall short of the toughness needed for …

During the decompression of plastically deformed glasses at room temperature, some
aspects of irreversible densification may be preserved. This densification has been primarily …

Positronium (Ps) is a valuable probe to investigate nanometric or sub-nanometric cavities in
non-metallic materials, where Ps can be confined. Accessible experimental measurements …

Densification in glassy networks has traditionally been described in terms of short-range
structures, such as how atoms are coordinated and how the coordination polyhedron is …

In this work, we discuss the possibility of inertial sensing with positronium in the 2 3 S
metastable state for the measurement of optical dipole, relativistic and gravitational forces on …

In this study, we investigate the effects of densification through high pressure and
temperature (up to 5 GPa, 1000° C) in the making of nanogratings in pure silica glass …

A study of low temperature specific heat capacity (1–30 K) has been performed on samples
of vitreous SiO2, which have been compacted under pressures up to 8 GPa to explore …

Although glasses have been largely used for a wide variety of technological applications,
much of their underlying structure and dynamical properties remain puzzling. We present a …
