Pressure has long been recognized as a fundamental thermodynamic variable but its
application was previously limited by the available pressure vessels and probes. The …

The structure of metallic glasses (MGs) has been a long-standing mystery. On the one hand,
MGs are amorphous materials with no long-range structural order; on the other hand …

非晶态物质是复杂的多体相互作用体系, 其基本特征是原子和电子结构复杂, 微观结构长程无序,
体系在能量上处在亚稳态, 具有复杂的多重弛豫行为, 其物理, 化学和力学性质 …

Polymorphism and polymorphic transitions are attracting considerable interest because of
their significant effect on the phase stability, switchable properties, and the atomic …

The slow transition from an out-of-equilibrium glass towards a supercooled liquid is a
complex relaxation phenomenon. In this Letter, we study the correlation between …

Under high strain-rate loading, prominent increases in pressure usually triggers phase
transition (PT), but the concomitant temperature rise may also cause melting. Quasi …

Rare-earth metals create unique opportunities in improving properties of aluminum alloys.
For over a century, there have been attempts to explore cerium for aluminum alloying …

Pressure profoundly alters all states of matter. The symbiotic development of ultrahigh-
pressure diamond anvil cells, to compress samples to sustainable multi-megabar pressures; …

High‐entropy alloys (HEAs) composed of multiprincipal elements with near‐equiatomic ratio
have gained numerous attention in recent years. The design concept and unique …

Polymorphic phase transitions are common in crystalline solids. Recent studies suggest that
phase transitions may also exist between two liquid forms with different entropy and …
