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 …

Phase separation phenomena in metallic glass systems are reviewed. First, a brief
introduction to the enhanced glass forming ability and the phase separation in metallic glass …

Liquids and solids are two fundamental states of matter. However, our understanding of their
three-dimensional atomic structure is mostly based on physical models. Here we use atomic …

The mechanical properties of amorphous alloys have proven both scientifically unique and
of potential practical interest, although the underlying deformation physics of these materials …

Although nanoscale spatial heterogeneity of metallic glasses has been demonstrated by
extensive experimental and theoretical investigations, the nature of spatial heterogeneity …

Fluctuation microscopy is a hybrid diffraction-imaging technique that detects medium range
order in amorphous materials by examining spatial fluctuations in coherent scattering. These …

A recent structural model reconciles apparently conflicting features of randomness, short-
range order, and medium-range order that coexist in metallic glasses. In this efficient cluster …

The main recent advances in Al-based amorphous alloys are discussed in three areas:
crystallization behavior, glass-forming ability and minor alloying effects. First, as a brief …

Fluctuation electron microscopy experiments combined with hybrid reverse Monte Carlo
modeling show a correlation between medium-range structure at the nanometer scale and …

Many of the structural elements of importance in materials applications (eg, thin films, barrier
layers, intergranular films in ceramics) are small in volume and amorphous. Although the …
