Laves phases with their comparably simple crystal structure are very common intermetallic
phases and can be formed from element combinations all over the periodic table resulting in …

The origin of glass formation is one of the most fundamental issues in glass science. The
glass-forming ability (GFA) of multicomponent systems, such as metallic glasses and phase …

Mechanical amorphization, a widely observed phenomenon, has been utilized to synthesize
novel phases by inducing disorder through external loading, thereby expanding the realm of …

Abstract “Brittle” metallic glass (MG) usually fractures catastrophically in a shattering mode
under macroscopic compression, because cleavage cracking of splitting that originates from …

This study presents a unique Mg-based alloy composition in the Mg–Zn–Yb system which
exhibits bulk metallic glass, metastable icosahedral quasicrystals (iQCs), and crystalline …

Nanocrystalline metals contain a large fraction of high-energy grain boundaries, which may
be considered as glassy phases. Consequently, with decreasing grain size, a crossover in …

The nature of collective diffusion in amorphous solids is in strong contrast with diffusion in
crystals. However, the atomic-scale mechanism and kinetics of such collective diffusion …

Amorphous solids, such as metallic, polymeric, and colloidal glasses, display complex
spatiotemporal response to applied deformations. In contrast to crystalline solids, during …

We investigate the influence of microstructural properties on the plastic deformation
behavior of Cu 64 Zr 36 nanoglasses by means of molecular dynamics simulations. Two …

Atomistic deformation simulations in the nominally elastic regime are performed for a model
binary glass with strain rates as low as 10 4/s (corresponding to 0.01 shear strain per 1 µs) …
