Abstract:
Both “grain boundaries” and “grains” are amorphous in a nanoglass, as proposed originally by Dr. Herbert Gleiter, a German scientist. Nanostructures introduced into traditional bulk metallic glass in such a way make novel properties achievable，underlying potential applications in a number of new material domains. Up to now, several nanoglasses have been synthesized via inert-gas condensation or magnetron sputtering techniques. They exhibit outstanding macroscopic tensile plasticity, unusual ferromagnetism, high catalytic performance and good biocompatibility. The advantages have been demonstrated recently not only by experiments, but also by theoretical considerations, in particular, along with atomistic simulations.
