Abstract
Structural evolution of an Au-based bulk metallic glass (BMG) after severe plastic deformation (SPD) was investigated. The newly formed glass contains high-density shear bands, a reduced ordering and a concomitant excess free volume. Moreover, it exhibits a less-changed local structure even in the supercooled liquid region, but a reduced thermal stability reflected in an accelerated crystal nucleation and growth process. These results suggest that SPD modifies the atomic structure of BMGs by localized shear band formation, thus producing so-called nanoglasses.
