Figure 4: The illustrated mechanisms of mechanical relaxations in metallic glass.

From: Unusual fast secondary relaxation in metallic glass

Figure 4

(a) The fast β′ relaxation is associated with local structural rearrangements, (b) the slow β relaxation with the linkage of local structural rearrangements, and (c) the α relaxation with the percolation of the local relaxations through the glass ‘matrix’. Note that the red and blue spheres represent mobile and less mobile atoms respectively.
