Summary: The effect of Cu content on the corrosion behavior of (Ti36.1Zr33.2Ni5.8Be24.9)(100-x)Cux (x=5, 7, and 9 at.%) amorphous alloys in HCl solution was studied systematically. The results showed that all three materials exhibited pitting corrosion in the HCl solution. The stability of the passivation film decreased with an increase in Cu content, leading to a lower pitting potential. The adsorption of Cl ions on the alloy surface also increased with higher Cu content, resulting in more corrosion pits and higher corrosion rate. The corrosion resistance of the amorphous alloy was optimum at x=5.

Summary: This study used laser powder bed fusing technology to fabricate amorphous Mg-Zn-Ca and Mg-Zn-Ca-Y alloy parts. The as-built parts exhibited amorphous structure and few nanocrystals due to high cooling rates. Y alloying promoted the formation of quasicrystal phase with high hardness and elastic modulus, leading to improved yield strength and plasticity. Despite micro galvanic corrosion, the parts showed moderate corrosion rate and favorable biocompatibility in vitro cell tests.

Summary: Investigating the effects of adding Ti3AlC2 and sintering temperature on the microstructure of Cu-graphite composites, it was found that Ti3AlC2 and Cu undergo interdiffusion during sintering. A certain amount of Ti3AlC2 is in situ decomposed to synthesize TiCx due to the diffusion of Al atoms into the Cu matrix. The decomposition of Ti3AlC2 is directly proportional to the sintering temperature but inversely proportional to its addition. Furthermore, a TiC interface layer is formed, promoting good bonding between the Cu matrix and graphite, through the reaction of Ti atoms decomposed from Ti3AlC2 and carbon atoms on the graphite surface.

Summary: In this study, small-sized barium-doped mesoporous silica nanoparticles (SiO2-Ba NPs) were synthesized and evaluated for their contrasting properties.

The leaching test demonstrated the structural stability of SiO2-Ba NPs, with negligible escape of Ba2+ ions. Overall, the prepared SiO2-Ba NPs show great promise as effective CT contrast agents.

Summary: The research on liquid-liquid transition (LLT) has greatly enhanced the understanding of the liquid structure and evolution, with significant implications for glass formation. However, the impact of LLT on vitrification and glass structures is still unclear due to experimental challenges in exploring LLT in high-temperature melts. This study examines LLT in Zr-Cu-Ni-Al melts and reveals that superheated fragility is closely related to glass-forming ability. The competition between crystal-like and icosahedral-like clusters affects the crystallization behavior and changes in both medium-range order structure and short-range order structure indicate LLT.

Summary: The structural evolution near the crystalline/matrix interface in CuZr-based metallic glass composite (MGC) was investigated using in situ transmission electron microscope (TEM) tensile straining and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. Plastic deformation of the crystalline phase occurred before the amorphous phase, involving recoverable martensite transformation, dislocation accumulation at the interface, and local amorphization between grains. Fracture did not occur along the interphase interface, but within the crystalline phase near the interface, indicating a strong interface and high work hardening rate of the crystalline phase. MD simulations revealed that the amorphous phase was marginally metastable compared to the stable B2 phase, while the B19' martensitic phase was metastable with higher energy, explaining the easy mutual transformation between B2 and amorphous phase, and the less frequent transformation product of B19' phase from B2 during straining.

Summary: In metallic glass composites (MGCs), the presence of crystalline phases leads to structural heterogeneity in the amorphous matrix near the crystalline phase, resulting in differences in mechanical properties at the micro- or nano-scale near the crystalline/matrix interface. This study quantitatively relates the pile-up height to the activation volume of shear transformation zones (STZs) to characterize this difference using nanoindentation technology. Molecular dynamics simulations were conducted to investigate the activation behaviors of STZs during the nanoindentation process of the amorphous matrix, and the influences of crystalline phases on the deformation behaviors of the amorphous matrix near the interface in MGCs were analyzed in detail.

Summary: Amorphous alloy composites (AACs) with reinforcing crystalline phases exhibit superior mechanical properties compared to their base amorphous alloy counterparts. A study on Cu-Zr based AACs reveals that the B2 phase particles embedded in the amorphous matrix are actually heterogeneous at the sub-micron scale, and the amorphous phase exhibits a gradient in free volume content towards the interface. This research provides valuable insights into the crystallization mechanism of the iso-stoichiometric B2 phase in Cu-Zr based AACs.

Summary: The structure features of Cu62Zr34.4Al3Nb0.6 amorphous alloy composites (AACs) were studied using experimental characterization and first-principles calculation. Element segregation, a common phenomenon in conventional alloy materials, does not occur in the two phases (crystalline and amorphous) of AACs due to complex solid solution. By calculating different structural models, including interstitial solid solution, substitutional solid solution, B2, and amorphous phase, the lattice parameters, electron distribution, charge transfer, and electrical potential, which are directly related to atomic bonding and lattice parameters, were obtained. Finally, the formation and stability of solid solution in the crystalline and amorphous phases were elucidated using first-principles calculation. This work has important guiding significance for understanding the two-phase structure and solidification mechanism in AACs materials.
