Over the past decades, considerable efforts have been made in the commercial application
of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs). Despite great challenges faced by the industrial players …

The fracture toughness of glassy materials remains poorly understood. In large part, this is
due to the disordered, intrinsically non-equilibrium nature of the glass structure, which …

A wide range of behaviors, including non-monotonic rejuvenation and relaxation, and the
ability to qualitatively change the effect by varying the structural state of the glass was …

Fracture properties are crucial for the applications of structural materials. The fracture
behaviors of crystalline alloys have been systematically investigated and well understood …

We consider a broad range of 13 BMGs from different alloy systems to represent the material
class of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) and characterize their fracture toughness. To …

The origin of limited plasticity in metallic glasses is elusive, with no apparent link to their
atomic structure. We propose that the response of the glassy structure to applied stress, not …

Most of the known bulk metallic glasses lack sufficient ductility or toughness when fabricated
under conditions resulting in bulk glass formation. To address this major shortcoming …

Abstract A novel Fe 39 Ni 39 B 12.82 Si 2.75 Nb 2.3 P 4.13 bulk metallic glass (BMG) with
high notch toughness of 72.3 MPa m 1/2, large plastic strain of 9.8%, high yield strength of …

The study of structural flaws is of paramount importance in engineering applications.
However, the effect of flaws on both the macroscale and nanoscale metallic glasses (MGs) is …

Brittle materials, such as oxide glasses, are usually very sensitive to flaws, giving rise to a
macroscopic fracture strength that is much lower than that predicted by theory. The same …
