Melting was observed in silicate glasses under extreme environments, demonstrating significant changes in structure and behavior.
Specifically, borosilicate glass showed polymorphic transitions at pressures between 40 and 65 GPa, compared to soda-lime glasses which had altered coordination numbers.
Analysis utilized time-resolved X-ray diffraction and laser-driven shock compression to probe nanosecond-scale structural dynamics of the glasses.
Results highlight the importance of network structure in the performance and application of silicate glasses in aerospace contexts.
