Elastic heterogeneity in metallic glasses

W Dmowski, T Iwashita, CP Chuang, J Almer, T Egami - Physical review letters, 2010 - APS
When a stress is applied on a metallic glass it deforms following Hook's law. Therefore it
may appear obvious that a metallic glass deforms elastically. Using x-ray diffraction and …
