The hardness, tensile ductility, and strain rate sensitivity of crystalline Cu/amorphous Cu–Zr
nanolaminates (Cu/Cu–Zr C/A NLs) have been measured as a function of modulation ratio …

We investigated the characteristic of first pop-in event under spherical nanoindentation in
the typical orientation (0 1 1¯ 2), ie, Y-42° plane of a LiTaO 3 single crystal. Three spherical …

It has long been thought that shear band (SB) formation in amorphous solids initiates from
relatively “soft” regions in the material in which large-scale non-affine deformations become …

Molecular dynamics simulations were employed to investigate the plastic deformation within
the shear bands in three different metallic glasses (MGs). To mimic shear bands, MG …

Molecular dynamics simulations were employed to investigate the specimen thickness-
dependent tensile behavior of a series of Cu x Zr 100-x (x= 20, 40, 50, 64 and 80 at.%) …

Niobium alloys have found extensive application in industries, such as aerospace, nuclear
reactor, and emerging electronic technologies, owing to their high melting point, low density …

The tensile behaviors of Cu 50 Zr 50 metallic glass (MG) films with the same cooling history
as a function of film thickness are systematically studied by molecular dynamics simulations …

An apparent reduction in both size and amount of shear bands was observed, as the sample
converted from 45 μm ribbon to 1.8 μm film in a Ni–Nb metallic glass. Such size effect on the …

Nanoindentation technology has been widely adopted to study creep behavior in small
regions. However, nanoindentation creep behavior of metallic glass is still not well …

In metallic glasses (MGs), plastic deformation at room temperature is dominated by highly
localized shear bands. Here we report the non-localized deformation under tension in …
