Figure 5: Effect of sample size on the critical fictive temperature.

From: Critical fictive temperature for plasticity in metallic glasses

Figure 5

Tg−Tfc values for Zr-BMG of different thicknesses are compared with that of 0.6-mm thick Pt-BMG and Pd-BMG samples. The results demonstrate that the effect of alloy composition is more pronounced than sample size. Therefore, Tfc measured for any sample size can be used in the Tg−Tfc criterion for plasticity.
