Structural Origins of Crack Resistance on Magnesium Aluminoborosilicate Glasses Studied by Solid-State NMR

Published in Journal of Physical Chemistry C, 2019

Why does magnesium improve crack resistance in aluminoborosilicate glasses? Multinuclear NMR links this behavior to changes in boron coordination and cation preferences for charge compensation. The findings explain the mechanical response through redistribution of existing structural units, rather than the formation of entirely new network motifs.
