Metallic glass was rst reported in 1960 by rapid quenching of Au-Si alloys. But, due to the size limitation, this material did not attract remarkable interest until the development of bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) with specimen sizes in excess of 1...
One-Dimensional (1D) nanostructures are generally defined as having at least one dimension between 1 and 100 nm. Investigations of their mechanical properties are important from both fundamental study and application point of view. Different metho...
One-dimensional (1D) nanostructures, such as nanotubes, nanowires and nanobelts, have attracted considerable interests in the last two decades because of their exceptional physical, chemical, and electrical properties. Engineering applications of ...
