Common to most polyamorphic materials is the directionality of the atomic bonds. On page 192 of this issue, Hongwei Sheng and co-workers report on polyamorphism in a metallic glass, where the ...

They have proposed the underlying origins of fragility in metallic glass (MG) from an electronic ... and DFT-based deep-learning atomic simulations, to explore the underlying mechanism of this ...

Even more interestingly, however, the macroscopic response of the bulk metallic glass is found to be less stiff than the local atomic next-neighbour bonds due to structural rearrangements at the 0 ...
