Amorphous materials are metastable solids with only short-range order at the atomic scale,
which results from local intermolecular chemical bonding. The lack of long-range order …

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 …

Dynamic relaxation is an intrinsic and universal feature of glasses and enables fluctuation
and dissipation to occur, which induces plentiful behaviour, maintains equilibrium, and …

The invention of bulk metallic glasses has stimulated extensive interest, due to their possible
technological applications in a variety of industrial fields and their scientific importance in …

Complex materials are composed of basic units which invariably interact with anharmonic
potentials. It is well known that the dynamics of systems with anharmonic interaction are …

The mechanical properties of ex-situ and in-situ metallic glass matrix composites (MGMCs)
have proven to be both scientifically unique and of potentially important for practical …

Shear-banding is a ubiquitous plastic-deformation mode in materials. In metallic glasses,
shear bands are particularly important as they play the decisive role in controlling plasticity …

The fracture of metallic glasses has received relatively little attention until recently. The
development of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) with more compositions, large sample sizes …

In comparing a material's resistance to distort under mechanical load rather than to alter in
volume, Poisson's ratio offers the fundamental metric by which to compare the performance …

Reflecting the fast pace of research in the field, the Second Edition of Bulk Metallic Glasses
has been thoroughly updated and remains essential reading on the subject. It incorporates …
