We review recent research into elastic and plastic deformation of metallic glasses, with an
emphasis on making connections between developments in theory and simulation (largely …

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 structure of metallic glasses (MGs) has been a long-standing mystery. On the one hand,
MGs are amorphous materials with no long-range structural order; on the other hand …

A theoretical perspective is provided on the glass transition in molecular liquids at thermal
equilibrium, on the spatially heterogeneous and aging dynamics of disordered materials …

Interatomic potentials approximate the potential energy of atoms as a function of their
coordinates. Their main application is the effective simulation of many-atom systems. Here …

Amorphous solids, or glasses, are distinguished from crystalline solids by their lack of long-
range structural order. At the level of two-body structural correlations, glassformers show no …

Extensive molecular dynamics simulations were carried out to monitor the development of
icosahedral order in Cu 64 Zr 34 liquid and metallic glass (MG). This study illustrates that at …

Since the 1970s, theories of deformation and failure of amorphous, solidlike materials have
started with models in which stress-driven, molecular rearrangements occur at localized flow …

We review the recent literature on the simulation of the structure and deformation of
amorphous solids, including oxide and metallic glasses. We consider simulations at different …

Prior to macroscopic yielding, most materials undergo a regime of plastic activity that cannot
be resolved in conventional bulk deformation experiments. In this pre-yield, or micro-plastic …
