Glasses are materials that lack a crystalline microstructure and long‐range atomic order.
Instead, they feature heterogeneity and disorder on superstructural scales, which have …

Structural applications of metallic glasses are limited by their room-temperature brittleness
and strain-softening, associated with the extreme localization of plastic flow in shear bands …

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 …

Structural rejuvenation is an effective measure to optimize the mechanical properties of
metallic glasses (MGs). Sophisticated solutions to rejuvenation include thermal cycling, laser …

Unusual features of the vibrational density of states D (ω) of glasses allow one to rationalize
their peculiar low-temperature properties. Simulational studies of D (ω) have been restricted …

Glassy solids exhibit a wide variety of generic thermomechanical properties, ranging from
universal anomalous specific heat at cryogenic temperatures to nonlinear plastic yielding …

A wide range of behaviors, including non-monotonic rejuvenation and relaxation, and the
ability to qualitatively change the effect by varying the structural state of the glass was …

It is now well established that glasses feature quasilocalized nonphononic excitations—
coined “soft spots”—, which follow a universal ω 4 density of states in the limit of low …

We perform molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the effect of a glass preparation
on its yielding transition under oscillatory shear. We use swap Monte Carlo to investigate a …

The high entropy effect is often insufficient to fully stabilize single-phase solid solutions
(SPSS), yielding only few, mostly metastable SPSS. While the prospective space of …
