Shear-banding is a ubiquitous plastic-deformation mode in materials. In metallic glasses,
shear bands are particularly important as they play the decisive role in controlling plasticity …

The fracture of metallic glasses has received relatively little attention until recently. The
development of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) with more compositions, large sample sizes …

We combine first-principles molecular-dynamics simulations with high-resolution
transmission electron microscopy experiments to draw a detailed microscopic picture of …

Quantitative bending and compression tests on micropillars made of two different
amorphous alloys, with tip diameters ranging from 93 to 645nm, are performed in situ in a …

To uncover the physical origin of shear-banding instability in metallic glass (MG), a
theoretical description of thermo-mechanical deformation of MG undergoing one …

In recent years, in order to improve the destructive effectiveness of munitions, the use of new
types of destructive elements is an important way to improve destructive effectiveness. As a …

Nanoscratch tests of Lu 2 O 3 single crystal under different scratch velocities were performed
using Berkovich and spherical indenters. The experimental results indicated that shallower …

Three-point bending experiments were performed on as-cast and annealed samples of
Zr52. 5Cu17. 9Ni14. 6Al10Ti5 (Vit105) bulk metallic glasses over a wide range of …

DOI: 10.1002/adma. 201401123 of nanoscopic planar defects, called shear bands. This
shear localization is difficult to assess experimentally due to its confinement to some tens of …

When a sufficiently high stress is applied to a metallic glass, causing plastic deformation, the
material undergoes structural reconfiguration through dissipative slip avalanche events that …
