In recent years, in order to improve the destructive effectiveness of munitions, the use of new
types of destructive elements is an important way to improve destructive effectiveness. As a …

Metallic glasses have received considerable attention in the fields of materials science and
condensed matter physics. The disordered structure of metallic glasses gives rise to unique …

Unraveling the microstructural heterogeneity is an important issue to understand the
physical and mechanical properties of metallic glasses. Structural relaxation below the glass …

Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) are materials with outstanding strength and elastic properties
that make them tantalizing for engineering applications, yet our poor understanding of how …

For decades, scanning/transmission electron microscopy (S/TEM) techniques have been
employed to analyze shear bands in metallic glasses and understand their formation in …

Using molecular dynamics simulations, we provide an atomistic description of the shear
band multiplication mechanisms in a heterogeneous metallic glass consisting of two distinct …

Metallic glasses (MGs) undergo plastic deformation through shear transformation zones
(STZs) at small deformations and shear banding at large deformations. The STZ mechanism …

Plastic deformation and relaxation dynamics are two major topics in glass physics.
Secondary (β) relaxation has been assumed to be a relevant plastic mechanism in …

Capturing a shear band in a metallic glass during its propagation experimentally is very
challenging. Shear bands are very narrow but extend rapidly over macroscopic distances …

The prospective applications of metallic glasses are limited by their lack of ductility,
attributed to shear banding inducing catastrophic failure. A concise depiction of the local …
