Amorphous materials are metastable solids with only short-range order at the atomic scale,
which results from local intermolecular chemical bonding. The lack of long-range order …

Severe plastic deformation (SPD) is effective in producing bulk ultrafine-grained and
nanostructured materials with large densities of lattice defects. This field, also known as …

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 …

Phase has emerged as an important structural parameter—in addition to composition,
morphology, architecture, facet, size and dimensionality—that determines the properties and …

Amorphous materials have attracted increasing attention in diverse fields due to their unique
properties, yet their controllable fabrications still remain great challenges. Here, we …

Although the atomic structure of amorphous alloys, which lacks long-range translational
symmetry, may appear homogeneous at the macroscopic scale, their local dynamic and/or …

As a key structural parameter, phase depicts the arrangement of atoms in materials.
Normally, a nanomaterial exists in its thermodynamically stable crystal phase. With the …

Dynamic relaxation is an intrinsic and universal feature of glasses and enables fluctuation
and dissipation to occur, which induces plentiful behaviour, maintains equilibrium, and …

With more than a hundred elements in the periodic table, a large number of potential new
materials exist to address the technological and societal challenges we face today; however …

Metallic glasses and cancer theranostics are emerging fields that do not seem to be related
to each other. Herein, we report the facile synthesis of amorphous iron nanoparticles …
