The invention of bulk metallic glasses has stimulated extensive interest, due to their possible
technological applications in a variety of industrial fields and their scientific importance in …

The mechanical properties of ex-situ and in-situ metallic glass matrix composites (MGMCs)
have proven to be both scientifically unique and of potentially important for practical …

Intermetallic alloys have traditionally been characterized by their inherent brittleness due to
their lack of sufficient slip systems and absence of strain hardening. However, here we …

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 fracture of metallic glasses has received relatively little attention until recently. The
development of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) with more compositions, large sample sizes …

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 …

The future of metallic glasses as an advanced structural and functional material will to a
great extent depend on the understanding and control of their mesoscopic flow defects …

The dependence of microstructure on the alloy composition and cooling rate of a series of
(Zr0. 5Cu0. 5) 100− xAlx (x= 1, 2, 3,…, 10at.%) alloys was investigated in detail and …

Recent reports suggest that Poisson's ratio (ν), or the related ratio of shear modulus G to
bulk modulus B, indicates the potential of metallic glasses (MGs) to sustain plastic strain …

We report a close correlation between the dynamic behavior of serrated flow and the
plasticity in metallic glasses (MGs) and show that the plastic deformation of ductile MGs can …
