Offering some of the highest specific strength and resilience values known among bulk
materials, metallic glasses have the potential to revolutionize the field of materials science …

The incipient plasticity of an amorphous solid represents the onset of shear deformation,
which is a stochastic progress closely related to microstructure evolution. It is well known …

Glass hardness varies in a non-linear fashion with the chemical composition and applied
load, a phenomenon known as the indentation size effect (ISE), which is challenging to …

Mechanical size effects in Zr x Ni 100− x thin metallic glass films are investigated for
thicknesses from 200 to 900 nm. Local order, elastic properties and rate sensitivity are …

Zr-based thin film metallic glasses appear as promising coatings for biomedical applications,
due to their microstructural and physicochemical properties. Materials used as medical …

In this study, the effects of the structural energy states (as-cast and relaxed) of Zr 50 Cu 40 Al
10 metallic glass were investigated using depth-sensing nanoindentation. In terms of …

We report on the effect of Al and Co alloying in vitreous Cu 50 Zr 50 on local deformation
and serrated flow as a model for relating the size and localization of shear transformation …

Berkovich nanoindentation experiments were conducted on Zr 55 Cu 30 Al 10 Ni 5 bulk
metallic glass under a constant loading rate. Indentation hardness decreased linearly with …

The AlNbTiZr medium-entropy alloy (MEA) coatings with different Al content were irradiated
by 6 MeV Au-ions. The effect of the irradiation fluence on the surface morphology …

Room temperature, uniaxial compression creep experiments were performed on micro-
/nano-sized pillars (having diameters in the range of 250–2000nm) of a Zr-based bulk …
