Fracture toughness of metallic glasses: Annealing-induced embrittlement

CH Rycroft, E Bouchbinder - Physical review letters, 2012 - APS
Quantitative understanding of the fracture toughness of metallic glasses, including the
associated ductile-to-brittle (embrittlement) transitions, is not yet available. Here, we use a simple …
