The brittleness and work-softening of Bulk Metallic Glasses (BMGs) prevent their wide
applications as structural engineering materials. In order to settle this problem, the BMG …

Metal additive manufacturing has emerged as a new manufacturing option for aerospace
and biomedical applications. The many challenges that surround this new manufacturing …

Due to their inherent metastability, metallic glasses crystallize upon thermal activation, which
involves nucleation and growth. It is debatable, however, whether steady-state kinetics of …

Many physical phenomena deviate from their established frameworks when the system
approaches relevant length scales governing the phenomena. In crystallization, the relevant …

Modification of surfaces by laser heating has become a very important aspect of modern
materials science. The author's own interests in laser processing have been involved in the …

In this paper, we present an elastic model coupled with a heat propagation process in order
to reproduce the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of spin crossover materials driven by …

An interrelationship between parameters of short and intermediate range order in silicate
glasses and the tendency to nucleate homogeneously in the volume is tested. Changes in …

Nucleation is considered for nonzero rate of change of the dimensionless barrier B, which is
characterized by a finite, slowly varying “nonstationary index” N∝−(d B/dt). In the standard …

The paper aims in correlating isothermal DSC signals to the actual nucleation and
crystallization processes in a lithium disilicate glass as determined by optical microscopy …

PURPOSE: The goal was to find thermodynamic criteria that must be satisfied in order to
prevent formation of crystalline state of drugs within a confined space (eg, nanopores of …
