Table 1 Physical and macroscopic (experimental) mechanical properties of investigated glasses: density \(\rho\), longitudinal and transversal sound wave velocity (\({v}_{\mathrm{L}}\) and \({v}_{\mathrm{T}}\)), shear modulus \({G}_{\mathrm{exp}}\), bulk modulus \({K}_{\mathrm{exp}}\), Young’s modulus \({E}_{\mathrm{exp}}\), Poisson’s ratio ν and calculated atomic packing density \({C}_{\mathrm{g}}\).
