      Frankberg, Erkka J.; Lambai, Aloshious; Zhang, Jiahui; Kalikka, Janne; Khakalo, Sergei; Paladino, Boris; Cabrioli, Mattia; Mathews, Nidhin G.; Salminen, Turkka; Hokka, Mikko; Akola, Jaakko Eemeli; Kuronen, Antti; Levänen, Erkki; Di Fonzo, Fabio; Mohanty, Gaurav (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Oxide glasses are an elementary group of materials in modern society, but brittleness limits their wider usability at room temperature. As an exception to the rule, amorphous aluminum oxide (a-Al2O3) is a rare diatomic ...
