The glass-forming ability of model metal-metalloid alloys
Kai Zhang, Yanhui Liu, Jan Schroers +2
Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) are amorphous alloys with desirable mechanical properties and processing capabilities. To date, the design of new BMGs has largely employed empirical r…
Can the packing efficiency of binary hard spheres explain the glass-forming ability of bulk metallic glasses?
Kai Zhang, W. Wendell Smith, Minglei Wang +4
We perform molecular dynamics simulations to compress binary hard spheres into jammed packings as a function of the compression rate , size ratio , and number fraction …
The statistics of frictional families
Tianqi Shen, Stefanos Papanikolaou, Corey S. O'Hern +1
We develop a theoretical description for mechanically stable frictional packings in terms of the difference between the total number of contacts required for isostatic packings of…
