Abstract

通过原子制造技术构建独特的纳米尺度结构可能是改善金属玻璃(MG)薄膜机械性能的有效途径. 在此, 我们使用脉冲激光沉积作为原子制造策略, 制备了一种Ta基金属玻璃. TaNi MG具有小尺寸纳米晶体(1–4 纳米)弥散在非晶基体上的双相纳米结构, 因此在压缩过程中表现出7.99 GPa的超高屈服强度和15.87 GPa的高硬度, 并伴有80%的大塑性. 纳米晶体和MG基体之间的相互作用, 导致了多个剪切带的形成, 从而贡献了高塑性和强度. 研究发现, 原子制造方法有利于直接调控薄膜材料的微观结构和微观构型, 并进一步优化其性能. 这项工作为通过原子尺度的结构设计来打破金属材料的强度-塑性权衡提供了一个实 用的方法.
