A material strength depends on its microstructure, which in turn, is controlled by an
engineering process. Strengthening mechanisms like work hardening, precipitate, and grain …

The mechanical properties of bulk metallic glasses, including their superior strength and
hardness, and excellent corrosion and wear resistance, combined with their general inability …

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 …

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

We analyze in detail the atomistic response of a model amorphous material submitted to
plastic shear in the athermal, quasi-static limit. After a linear stress-strain behavior, the …

Instrumented contact experiments are performed on three metallic glasses to systematically
study shear band formation near a stress concentration. The results suggest that high local …

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

The fundamental instability responsible for the shear localization which results in shear
bands in amorphous solids remains unknown despite an enormous amount of research …

Fe-based bulk metallic glasses usually exhibit very poor ductility (< 0.5%)⁠, which has
limited their applications. Here the authors report an Fe-based bulk metallic glass which …

Metallic glass matrix composites may have unique mechanical properties and potential for
practical applications. Deformation mechanisms governing the structural evolution process …
