Severe plastic deformation (SPD) is effective in producing bulk ultrafine-grained and
nanostructured materials with large densities of lattice defects. This field, also known as …

Ductile rupture in metals is a phenomenon that affects a wide range of applications from
forming of automotive body panels to failure of pressure vessels. The incipient stage …

The development of high-performance ultraelastic metals with superb strength, a large
elastic strain limit and temperature-insensitive elastic modulus (Elinvar effect) are important …

Although the atomic structure of amorphous alloys, which lacks long-range translational
symmetry, may appear homogeneous at the macroscopic scale, their local dynamic and/or …

Lacking the structural information of crystalline solids, the origin of the relaxation dynamics
of metallic glasses is unclear. Here, we report the evolution of stress relaxation of high …

Intermetallic alloys have traditionally been characterized by their inherent brittleness due to
their lack of sufficient slip systems and absence of strain hardening. However, here we …

Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) being metallic materials without long-range order have
attracted a considerable amount of interest from academia and industry in the past three …

The physics of the glass transition and amorphous materials continues to attract the attention
of a wide research community after decades of effort. Supercooled liquids and glasses have …

The deformation and flow of disordered solids, such as metallic glasses and concentrated
emulsions, involves swift localized rearrangements of particles that induce a long-range …

This paper reviews the recent research and development of high-entropy alloys (HEAs).
HEAs are loosely defined as solid solution alloys that contain more than five principal …
