a Atomic structure with two diamond layers added on both sides of the ZrCu BMG to apply stress. The red dashed line marks the region near the \((\overline{1}01)\) plane, where a fraction of atoms is removed in subsequent simulations; (b) the local shear of atoms under strain ϵx = 10% with perfect BMG Zr50Cu50; (c) the local shear of atoms under strain ϵx = 10% with 3% of the atoms within 5 Å of the \((\overline{1}01)\) plane removed from the original structure to help forming the shear band.
