Although the atomic structure of amorphous alloys, which lacks long-range translational
symmetry, may appear homogeneous at the macroscopic scale, their local dynamic and/or …

Dynamic relaxation is an intrinsic and universal feature of glasses and enables fluctuation
and dissipation to occur, which induces plentiful behaviour, maintains equilibrium, and …

Reflecting the fast pace of research in the field, the Second Edition of Bulk Metallic Glasses
has been thoroughly updated and remains essential reading on the subject. It incorporates …

Modeling and simulation is transforming modern materials science, becoming an important
tool for the discovery of new materials and material phenomena, for gaining insight into the …

Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) can exhibit excellent combinations of strength and fracture
toughness that cannot be achieved by traditional metals, making them attractive for load …

Indentation, owing to its ability to induce permanent deformation in a controlled manner
even in highly brittle materials that are otherwise not amenable to critical mechanical testing …

Due to the structurally disordered arrangement of atoms and deviation from thermodynamic
equilibrium, the physical and mechanical properties of metallic glasses can vary with time …

Atomic structure dictates the performance of all materials systems; the characteristic of
disordered materials is the significance of spatial and temporal fluctuations on composition …

The mechanical properties of crystalline materials can be quantitatively described by crystal
defects of solute atoms, dislocations, twins, and grain boundaries with the models of solid …

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