| contents | Electron irradiation enables quantitative control over the plastic flow dynamics of silicate glasses, even far below the glass transition temperature. Through stress-relaxation experiments spanning ambient to near-glass-transition temperatures, we uncover a time-current equivalence that grants direct access to steady-state plastic flow over five decades in strain rate. This equivalence allows reconstruction of the intrinsic plastic-flow curve and quantitative assessment of the roles of network connectivity and temperature. Notably, the observed temperature dependence reveals a striking discrepancy with existing theoretical frameworks, highlighting the need for a comprehensive model of plastic flow dynamics in the glassy state. |
