a Schematic of the interaction between water and glass surface. b Molar concentration of the cations dissolved in deionized water, normalized by that of ions in bulk glass piece, as a function of corrosion time, as determined by ICP-AES analysis. c Equivalent thickness of altered glass calculated by silicon concentration under various corrosion conditions. d Topography of the corroded glass surface by AFM. e Root mean square (RMS) roughness of ISG surface as a function of corrosion time.
