A morphous alloys have excellent mechanical properties compared with traditional crystalline alloys, such as high strength, superplasticity in the supercooled liquid region, good corrosion resistance and large elastic limit [1] . An amorphous alloy is a kind of metallic material with only a short-range order on the atomic scale. Because its microstructure is quite similar to that of glass and it forms from rapid cooling of metals, it is also called metallic glass [2][3][4][5] . Lack of typical defects for polycrystalline alloys, such as grain boundaries and dislocations, metallic glasses attract a lot of research interests on fabrication methods, properties and applications [6][7][8] of tension, even compression [9] . The limited plastic deformation under tension or compression is normally localized in a single primary shear band of about 10 nm thick, rendering no observable global plastic deformation. The localized shear banding introduces a brittle manner of rupture, causing catastrophic failure under loading higher than the strength as in ceramic materials. Thus, the practical application as structural materials is seriously restricted The mechanical behavior and fracture of bulk metallic glasses at room temperature were widely investigated and in-depth fracture analysis was carried out. Zhang [10] et al. found the existence of a large number of radial dimples in the tensile fracture surface in Zr-based metallic glasses at room temperature. Wang [11] et al.found that the tensile fracture morphology of Zr-based amorphous alloy presents a typical vein pattern. A lot of efforts have also been made to enhance global plasticity or ductility of metallic glasses at room temperature. Zhang et al. [12] introduced compression surface stresses to obstruct single primary shear band propagation and shear localization, the remarkable improvement of ductility was obtained in bulk metallic glasses. It is still difficult to achieve tensile ductility of monolithic metallic glasses. Guo et al. [13] employed in situ transmission electron microscope to determine the deformation nature of the small-sized metallic glass under tension. For the 100 nm thick sample, great tensile
