Pronounced Plasticity Caused by Phase Separation and β-relaxation Synergistically in Zr–Cu–Al–Mo Bulk Metallic Glasses

Abstract Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) are known to have extraordinary merits such as ultrahigh strength and dynamic toughness etc. but tied to the detrimental brittleness, which has become a critical issue to the engineering application and understanding the glass nature. In this article, we report...
