The liquid phase remains poorly understood. In many cases, the densities of liquids and
their crystallized solid phases are similar, but since they are amorphous they lack the spatial …

Via fast differential scanning calorimetry using an Au-based glass as an example, we show
that metallic glasses should be classified into two types of amorphous/monolithic glass. The …

Ion irradiation of thermoplastically molded Pt 57.5 Cu 14.3 Ni 5.7 P 22.5 metallic glass
nanowires is used to study the relationship between glass structure and tensile behavior …

Bulk metallic glass forming melts are viscous liquids compared with pure metals and
conventional alloys. They show intermediate kinetic fragility and low thermodynamic driving …

Understanding how glasses form, the so-called vitrification, remains a major challenge in
materials science. Here, we study vitrification kinetics, in terms of the limiting fictive …

The change of physical properties during aging and the associated microscopic dynamics of
the Au 49 Cu 26.9 Si 16.3 Ag 5.5 Pd 2.3 bulk metallic glass are investigated using a broad …

Structural rejuvenation in metallic glasses by a thermal process (ie through recovery
annealing) was investigated experimentally and theoretically for various alloy compositions …

The range of magnitude of the liquid viscosity, η, as a function of temperature is one of the
most impressive of any physical property, changing by approximately 17 orders of …

The relaxation of amorphous materials, ie, aging, would largely endanger their
performances in service. Here we report a mechanical relaxation-to-rejuvenation transition …

Glass transition is one of the unresolved critical issues in solid-state physics and materials
science, during which a viscous liquid is frozen into a solid or structurally arrested state. On …
