The development of new glassy materials is key for addressing major global challenges in
energy, medicine, and advanced communications systems. For example, thin, flexible, and …

To develop next-generation lightweight, high-strength, and tough materials, new materials
design strategies must be established. Nacre, consisting of 95 vol.% inorganic plates …

In this review, we report on the formation of a variety of novel, metallic, glassy materials that
might well have applications as functional materials. The metallic glasses, with excellent …

We report experimental characterization of shear transformation zones (STZs) for plastic flow
of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) based on a newly developed cooperative shearing model …

Crystalline–amorphous hybrid materials (CA-HMs) possess the merits of both pure
crystalline and amorphous phases. Abundant dangling bonds, unsaturated coordination …

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 …

The widespread enthusiasm for research on bulk metallic glasses is driven by both a
fundamental interest in the structure and properties of disordered materials and their unique …

Metallic glasses have a very high strength, hardness and elastic limit. However, they rarely
show tensile ductility at room temperature and are considered quasi-brittle materials …

Glassy alloys (metallic glasses) are currently the focus of intense research in the
international metals community. Setting aside elevated-temperature applications, these …

Creating a glass is akin to racing against a thermodynamic clock. The clock begins ticking
when a liquid is cooled below its melting temperature T M. Typically, as the supercooled …
