Abstract
We perform the coupled molecular dynamics and spin dynamics simulations to investigate the magnetic annealing effect on the mechanical properties of Fe metallic glasses (MGs). The MGs exhibit a brittle transition with the alternative magnetic annealing at room temperature, while a ductile transition at high temperature. Through local structural analysis, we identify two distinct effects of magnetic annealing: structural aging and structural rejuvenation. The structural aging is manifested as the increase of the icosahedral (ICO) orders, while the structural rejuvenation is featured by the ICO reduction and the increase of structural entropy. The regime of structural aging or rejuvenation coincides with the mechanical behavior at different temperatures. Intriguingly, we observe a clear structural anisotropy induced by the spin-lattice interaction in the quenched samples. The structural anisotropy can be notably relieved at high temperatures through magnetic annealing. These findings unveil the structural significance through which the mechanical properties of MGs can be tuned via magnetic annealing.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids publishes review articles, research papers, and Letters to the Editor on amorphous and glassy materials, including inorganic, organic, polymeric, hybrid and metallic systems. Papers on partially glassy materials, such as glass-ceramics and glass-matrix composites, and papers involving the liquid state are also included in so far as the properties of the liquid are relevant for the formation of the solid.
In all cases the papers must demonstrate both novelty and importance to the field, by way of significant advances in understanding or application of non-crystalline solids; in the case of Letters, a compelling case must also be made for expedited handling.
