Abstract

Bulk metallic glasses (BMG) have been greatly improved by the advance of synthesis process during last three decades. It was also found that the Glass Forming Ability (GFA) strongly depends on the glass transition temperature. When the temperature approaches to a critical value, the crystals nucleation from the supercooled liquid can be suppressed so that bulk glass formation possible. Egami and others found that the local glass transition temperature depends on the volumetric strain of each atom and suggested the critical transition temperature. In this paper, we explore the strain dependency of local glass transition temperature using the atomic strain defined by the deformation tensor for the Voronoi polyhedra.
