Abstract “Brittle” metallic glass (MG) usually fractures catastrophically in a shattering mode
under macroscopic compression, because cleavage cracking of splitting that originates from …

Tailoring the formation and distribution of loose-packing regions and dense-packing regions
in the bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) has long been considered to facilitate macroscopic …

Brittle materials, such as oxide glasses, are usually very sensitive to flaws, giving rise to a
macroscopic fracture strength that is much lower than that predicted by theory. The same …

The effect of the distribution and concentration of rare earth (RE) element Y, crack
orientation, temperature, and strain rate on the crack propagation behavior of the Mg alloys …

The formation of shear bands in metallic glasses (MGs) was examined by tailoring localized
complex stress fields (LCSFs). The findings have shown that the LCSFs in MGs can increase …

This article investigates the effects of cryogenic thermal cycling (CTC) on the microstructure
and plasticity of Zr 60 Cu 20 Al 10 Ni 10 (Zr60) bulk metallic glass (BMG). The microstructure …

We use molecular dynamics simulations to characterize the tensile deformation and failure
of metallic glass (MG)-nanoglass (NG) composites designed with a brick and mortar …

Pulse electrodeposition is utilized to prepare Co–Fe–P metallic nano-glasses (NGs)
containing glassy grains with an average size D< 100 nm. The effects of glass–glass …

Upon reducing the sample size into micrometer scale, an obvious brittle-to-ductile transition
accompanied by a drastic change of failure mode from shattering to shear-banding was …

Understanding the differences between the cooling-rate and size effects on the plastic
deformation behavior of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) is important not only for uncovering …
