Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

We study the effect of irradiation with 5–20 keV recoils on the topological and chemical short-range order of Cu 64Zr36 metallic glass using molecular dynamics simulations. We show that within the cascade region, the structural backbone of stiff Cu-centered icosahedral units is destroyed, leading to locally softened areas. Under mechanical load, the formation of shear transformation zones is thus promoted in the damaged area. Our results suggest that irradiation is a means to introduce nucleation sites for multiple shear bands and thus prevents catastrophic failure due to the presence of a single critical shear band.
