The introduction of TGVs markedly reduces the shear strength of both glasses, narrows the modulus gap between them, and reverses their shear-modulus ranking, while simultaneously amplifying the spatial heterogeneity of local deformation. Structural analysis indicates that shear loading does not globally reconstruct the glass network; rather, it enhances short-range structural fluctuations and induces limited medium-range topological rearrangements.
