Probing the Degree of Heterogeneity within a Shear Band of a Model Glass

Abstract: Recent experiments provide evidence for density variations along shear bands (SB) in metallic glasses with a length scale of a few hundreds nanometers. Via molecular dynamics simulations of a generic binary glass model, here we show that this is strongly correlated with variations of composition, coordination number, viscosity and heat generation. Individual shear events along the SB-path show a mean distance of a few nanometers, comparable to recent experimental findings on medium range order. The aforementio… Show more

“…Whilst the here presented data is in qualitative agreement with recent computer simulations that highlight the position-dependent complexity of strain-localization in BMGs, [76][77][78] we are far away from understanding the local mechanisms that cause these fluctuations across much larger length-scales than of short-and medium-range structural order. To overcome this hurdle with experiments does currently not seem feasible, and substantial efforts/developments in atomistic simulations are needed in view of the length scales, time scales, and the prominence of thermal activation in shear banding.…”

“…Whereas distinct alternating density changes were observed in the shear bands of ex situ samples produced by cold rolling [11,33,34,55] or simulation [56], the current in situ investigation did not show such alternating contrast reversals. It was mentioned above (see the Results) that bright contrast was observed in one of the shear bands, as shown in Figure 1.…”

“…Thus, we expect that, in the present MG, the smaller species should migrate away from the central plane on shear, and that (as, we suggest, is observed) the largest species (Y) should migrate towards, or remain near, the central plane. This direction of migration is also indicated by the results of computer simulation, which showed that the areas with a larger excess volume in a sheared MG are enriched in larger atoms 52 .…”
