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 structure of metallic glasses (MGs) has been a long-standing mystery. On the one hand,
MGs are amorphous materials with no long-range structural order; on the other hand …

The ideal elastic limit is the upper bound to the stress and elastic strain a material can
withstand. This intrinsic property has been widely studied for crystalline metals, both …

With sufficient high cooling rates, a variety of liquids, including metallic melts, will cross a
glass transition temperature and solidify into glass accompanying a marked increase of the …

Using Cu-Zr models, we demonstrate icosahedral ordering as a microscopic origin of the
non-Arrhenius dynamical slowing down in metallic supercooled liquids. This correlation …

We review the recent literature on the simulation of the structure and deformation of
amorphous solids, including oxide and metallic glasses. We consider simulations at different …

Bulk metallic glasses (MGs) with tunable plasticity and strength have been reported recently.
Using Cu–Zr and Cu–Zr–Al MG models, here we illustrate how and why alloy composition …

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 …

Realistic three-dimensional atomistic structures of Zr x Cu 100− x (x= 35, 50) bulk metallic
glasses are constructed using a combination of x-ray diffraction experiment and …

Thin films have emerged as an ideal surface treatment to the permanent implant materials to
enhance properties such as biodegradation resistance, better mechanical strengths and …
