報告題目(mu)：How metallic glasses become crystals

報告簡介：

Metallic glasses are solids with a disordered atomic structure that nevertheless behave like strong, rigid materials. Many of them show excellent mechanical, magnetic, and chemical properties, as well as good biological compatibility. When heated metallic glasses eventually transform into crystalline phase(s), and the atomic-level mechanisms behind this transformation are still not fully understood. In this talk, I will explain how metallic glasses become crystals, focusing on the key processes that control nucleation and growth far from equilibrium. Understanding these processes is important both for preventing unwanted crystallization, which improves glass stability, and for deliberately creating nanocrystalline composites with useful properties.

With my colleagues we carried out heating experiments below the glass-transition temperature, where atomic motion is slow and differs between alloying elements. These differences lead to unexpected crystallization behavior, including faster-than-expected crystal growth and complex transformation pathways. In rare-earth metal containing metallic glasses, crystallization is strongly influenced by pre-existing oxide particles that act as preferred nucleation sites. Advanced transmission electron microscopy is essential for directly visualizing these processes and for correctly interpreting calorimetry and X-ray diffraction data. I will also present recent results on solid-state, room-temperature nanocrystallization induced by mechanical processing in Fe- and Mg-based metallic glasses. These findings provide new insight into how nanocrystals form and open pathways for designing advanced metallic glass nanocomposites.
