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

For crystalline metals, the science, technology and application of thermomechanical
processing are established, but this is not true for glasses. Metallic glasses—because they …

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

A Zr-based metallic glass is treated by a cryogenic-to room-temperature cycling treatment
with 30 cycles. Though the structure after treatment maintains its monolithic amorphous …

A fundamental understanding of the fatigue and fracture behavior of bulk metallic glasses
(BMGs) and their composites is of critical significance for designing new BMG systems and …

Structural rejuvenation of glasses not only provides fundamental insights into their
complicated dynamics but also extends their practical applications. However, it is formidably …

Severe lattice distortion is presumptively considered as a core effect of high-entropy alloys,
but quantitative measurements are still missing. Here, we demonstrate that the lattice …

In this study, as-cast and cold-rolled Zr 63.78 Cu 14.72 Ni 10 Al 10 Nb 1.5 bulk metallic glass
(BMG) samples were subjected to 20, 70, 120, and 170 cryogenic thermal cycles prior to …

The intrinsic structural heterogeneities of amorphous alloys are closely related to the
thermodynamics and dynamical behavior, such as relaxation/crystallization, glass transition …

Inspired by gradient materials in nature, advanced engineering components with controlled
structural gradients have attracted substantial research interests due to their exceptional …
