Implications of elastic constants, fragility, and bonding on permanent deformation in metallic glass
Bulk Metallic Glasses (BMG) have great potential in a range of applications such as fuel cells because of their ability to generate structures and features down to the submicron scale and their extreme corrosion resistance. Significant controversy exists within the BMG community as to why some BMGs exhibit plastic deformation in compression while others do not. Whilst the controversy remains unresolved, our analysis suggested ductile BMGs should possess significant liquid–like character close to the Born-stability limit as well a nonzero Cauchy Pressure. Recent results in the field have supported this result (http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3632972).
