From metallic glasses to nanocrystals: Molecular dynamics simulations on the crossover from glass-like to grain-boundary-mediated deformation behaviour

T Brink, K Albe - Acta Materialia, 2018 - Elsevier
Nanocrystalline metals contain a large fraction of high-energy grain boundaries, which may
be considered as glassy phases. Consequently, with decreasing grain size, a crossover in …

Influence of crystalline nanoprecipitates on shear-band propagation in Cu-Zr-based metallic glasses

T Brink, M Peterlechner, H Rösner, K Albe, G Wilde - Physical Review Applied, 2016 - APS
The interaction of shear bands with crystalline nanoprecipitates in Cu-Zr-based metallic
glasses is investigated by a combination of high-resolution TEM imaging and molecular …

Complex Dynamical Behavior in the Shear‐Displacement Model for Bulk Metallic Glasses during Plastic Deformation

C Chen, S Guan, L Zhang - Complexity, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
In this paper, a fresh shear‐displacement model is developed for the plastic deformation of
the bulk metallic glasses. The multiscale behavior in the shear banding process and the …
