Memory effect in the plasticity of a silicate glass densified at room temperature

Memory effects are a classic feature of disordered materials. With Raman-microspectroscopy we evidence memory effect in the deformation densified soda-lime silicate glasses, and with molecular dynamics simulations identify network reconfigurations it originates from. These results pave way toward better understanding plastic instability, damage, rupture properties iono-covalent glassy
