The brittleness and work-softening of Bulk Metallic Glasses (BMGs) prevent their wide
applications as structural engineering materials. In order to settle this problem, the BMG …

Strain-hardening (the increase of flow stress with plastic strain) is the most important
phenomenon in the mechanical behaviour of engineering alloys because it ensures that …

The empirical rules for the prediction of solid solution formation proposed so far in the
literature usually have very compromised predictability. Some rules with seemingly good …

Heterogeneous phase interface with particular microstructure generally plays a key role in
the mechanical behavior of nanostructured metals and alloys. Here, we reported a novel …

Metallic glasses can exhibit a wide range of local atomic arrangements which are
determined by their processing history, and which control their mechanical properties. While …

Motivated by recent studies demonstrating a high strength-high ductility potential of nano-
scale metallic glass samples, the mechanical response of freestanding Zr 65 Ni 35 film with …

Ductility, namely a material's capacity for plastic deformation, is a key property for preventing
fracture-driven failure in engineering parts. While some brittle materials are known to exhibit …

To harness “smaller is more ductile” behavior emergent at nanoscale and to proliferate it
onto materials with macroscale dimensions, we produced hollow-tube Cu60Zr40 metallic …

Metallic glasses commonly demonstrate softening due to excessive free volume or
hardening through partial nanocrystallization when subjected to irradiation. However, this …

The effects of interfaces in crystalline Cu/amorphous Cu 50 Zr 50 on shear banding
dynamics are investigated using molecular dynamics simulations. The results show that the …
