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…

Shear accelerated crystallization in a supercooled atomic liquid
Zhen Shao, Jonathan P. Singer, Yanhui Liu +6
A bulk metallic glass forming alloy is subjected to shear flow in its supercooled state by compression of a short rod to produce a flat disc. The resulting material exhibits enhanc…

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 …
