Abstract As a medium to understand the nature of glass transition, ultrastable glasses have garnered increasing attention for their significance in fundamental science and technological applications. Most studies produced through surface-controlled process using physical vapor deposition. Here, we demonstrate an approach accessing via glass-to-glass bulk transformation that is inherently free from size constraints anisotropy. The resulting exhibits significantly enhanced density (improved by...

Synthesized from ultrafine particles with a bottom-up approach, nanoglasses are of particular importance in pursuing unique properties. Here, we design metallic nanoglass alloy two components ∼Cu64Sc36 and ∼Fe90Sc10 nanoglasses. With nanoalloying mutually immiscible Fe Cu, the properties alloys can be tuned by varying proportions component. This offers opportunity to create novel glass nanocomposites sheds light on building structure-property correlation for alloys.

We derive the exact pairwise error probability (PEP) for space-time coding over quasi-static Rayleigh fading channels in presence of spatial correlation. show that receive correlation always degrades PEP all signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). quantify effect by employing notion "majorization". stronger correlation, worse SNRs. at low SNR, depending on codes, transmit can either improve or degrade performance. to guarantee robust performance arbitrary minimum eigenvalue codeword pair difference...

A common understanding of plastic deformation metallic glasses (MGs) at room temperature is that such occurs via the formation runaway shear bands usually lead to catastrophic failure MGs. Here we demonstrate inhomogeneous flow nanoscale can evolve in a well-controlled manner without further developing bands. It suggested sample undergoes an elasto-plastic transition terms quasi steady-state localized shearing. During this transition, embryonic localization (ESL) propagates with very slow...

Both experimental studies and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations reveal a unique atomic-scale growth mechanism during crystallization of an amorphous alloy Zr65Ni25Ti10. By using high-resolution transmission electron microscope incorporated with nanobeam diffraction technique, we have clearly seen imperfect ordered packing nano-ordered clusters (NOCs) size 1–2 nm embedded in this material. Under very large undercooling condition, NOCs essentially act as preexisting nuclei that can grow...

A Pd81Si19 bulk metallic glassy rod with a diameter of 4.5 mm was produced by water quenching the fluxed alloy. Despite negative heat mixing between Pd and Si elements very simple components constituting binary Pd–Si glass-forming system, structural heterogeneity induced either slow cooling liquid or sub-Tg annealing ribbons. The experiments evidenced that more ordered amorphous phase emerged from original matrix. Our work provides an alternative way to tune microstructure glasses subsequent...
