a Engineering stress-strain curves of the pillars with a diameter (Φ) of 500 nm and height of 1 μm. The inset shows the stress-strain curves of the GdCoAlH pillar with a diameter of 5 μm and height of 10 μm. b, c Morphology images after compression of GdCoAl and GdCoAlH pillars with a diameter of 500 nm. d, e Morphology images of the GdCoAlH pillar with a diameter of 5 μm before and after compression. f Summary of the stress versus strain for the typical rare earth-based amorphous micropillars and BMGs, the data of this study are also added.
