Topological Signatures of Hardness and Structural Order in Network-Forming Materials
Understanding how the topology of network forming materials influences their physical properties remains a longstanding challenge. Here, we investigate the topology of experimentally compatible atomistic models of amorphous silica together with the crystalline polymorphs cristobalite and quartz. By comparing multiple a...
