From: Mechanical glass transition revealed by the fracture toughness of metallic glasses
Structural and response quantities of the Zr44Ti11Ni10Cu10Be25 metallic glass exhibit gradual changes as a function of Tf. a Enthalpy recovery as a function of Tf obtained from differential scanning calorimetry of SENT fracture toughness samples. The error bars are quantified by 1 standard deviation from three samples. b The shear modulus G as a function of Tf, obtained from dynamic mechanical analysis at room temperature. (inset) G as a function of T at fixed Tf = 593 K. c The amplitude of the first peak of the pair distribution function G(rp) as a function of Tf. (inset) The pair distribution function G(r) for the two extreme cases: Tf = 573 and 683 K. d The anisotropy ∣Y∣of the pair distribution function under a compressive stress of 1 GPa as a function of Tf (see Methods for the precise definition of ∣Y∣)
