Amorphous solids lack long-range order. Therefore identifying structural defects—akin to
dislocations in crystalline solids—that carry plastic flow in these systems remains a daunting …

Cycling of a metallic glass between ambient and cryogenic temperatures can induce higher-
energy states characteristic of glass formation on faster cooling. This rejuvenation …

Cryogenic thermal cycling (CTC) is an effective treatment for improving the room-
temperature plasticity and toughness in metallic glasses. Despite considerable attention to …

The structural relaxation, potential energy states, and mechanical properties of a model
glass subjected to thermal cycling are investigated using molecular dynamics simulations …

This work reports the feasibility of extra rejuvenation in a ZrCuAlNi bulk metallic glass (BMG)
under combination of cryothermal treatment and tensile elastostatic loading in low stresses …

Amorphous materials have a rich relaxation spectrum, which is usually described in terms of
a hierarchy of relaxation mechanisms. In this work, we investigate the local dynamic …

This article aims to establish a relation between the excitation of atomic structure, namely
rejuvenation, and plasticity behavior of a Zr-based bulk metallic glass (BMG). The …

Rejuvenation in metallic glasses (MGs) can be achieved by means of thermal cycling
treatments at cryogenic temperatures. Here, atomic scale studies were carried out to explore …

The rejuvenation or energy‐storage behavior in metallic glasses (MGs) has been
extensively explored for its theoretical and practical significance. However, very limited …

Differential scanning calorimetry measurements on different bulk metallic glasses show no
measurable rejuvenation upon deeply cooled (cryogenic) thermal cycling. This applies both …
