A possible mechanism of strain accommodation in large deformation of glasses is
crystallization; deformation stability is a measure of the resistance of glasses to
crystallization. We study the effect of atomic size ratio and atomic stiffness parameter (related
to the curvature of the interatomic potential) on deformation stability of binary glasses using
molecular static simulations. The deformation stability of a glass is found to increase with
increasing atomic size ratio and magnitude of the atomic stiffness, which is proportional to …
