    Abstract: A glass-based article including a first surface and a second surface opposing the first surface defining a thickness (t) of about 3 millimeters or less (e.g., about 1 millimeter or less), and a stress profile, wherein all points of the stress profile between a thickness range from about 0·t up to 0.3·t and from greater than about 0.7·t to t, comprise a tangent with a slope having an absolute value greater than about 0.1 MPa/micrometer. In some embodiments, the glass-based article includes a non-zero metal oxide concentration that varies along at least a portion of the thickness (e.g., 0·t to about 0.3·t) and a maximum central tension of less than about 71.5/√(t) (MPa). In some embodiments, the concentration of metal oxide or alkali metal oxide decreases from the first surface to a point between the first surface and the second surface and increases from the point to the second surface. The concentration of the metal oxide may be about 0.05 mol % or greater or about 0.5 mol % or greater throughout the thickness. Methods for forming such glass-based articles are also disclosed.

    Abstract: Glass articles that are resistant to coloration when exposed to ultraviolet light or plasma cleaning processes. The glass articles comprise or consist of an alkali aluminosilicate glass containing from about 0.1 mol % to about 1 mol % of at least one of ZrO2, Sb2O3, and Nb2O5; and less than about 400 ppm each of oxides of titanium, iron, germanium, cerium, nickel, cobalt, and europium.
