This study employs molecular dynamics simulations to synthesize a GNG using Cu-Zr metallic glass nanoparticles (NPs) sized from 3 to 15 nm. The NPs were produced by melting and quenching metallic clusters at a relatively slow quench rate of 10<sup>9</sup> K/s. The synthesis of GNG is elucidated along with the characterization of its heterogeneous metallic glass nanostructure. A seamless GNG structure is formed through cold compression of Cu<sub>64</sub>Zr<sub>36</sub> amorphous NPs of varying sizes. The influence of NP size on the GNG structure is investigated, utilizing deeply relaxed NPs, which exhibit a characteristic Cu segregation pattern on their surfaces. The results highlight an increase in structural heterogeneity due to heterogeneous mass transport and the development of local composition and density variations caused by Cu segregation at glass-glass interfaces (GGIs). A reduction in NP size is correlated with decreased Cu atomic displacements and local density at GGIs, suggesting that larger NPs may produce stronger GGIs. This research presents a novel methodology for synthesizing heterogeneous metallic glasses, demonstrating the capacity to control and customize nanostructure heterogeneity through the manipulation of NP sizes and cooling rates. These findings enhance our understanding of structural evolution during nanoglass synthesis and lay the foundation for further exploration in nanomaterial synthesis and characterization.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":331,"journal":{"name":"Intermetallics","volume":"178 ","pages":"Article 108633"},"PeriodicalIF":4.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143153096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Equimolar molybdenum, niobium, tantalum and vanadium powders were mechanically alloyed for 6 h to produce NbMoVTa RHEA with a single BCC phase. Then, different amounts (10, 20, 30, and 40 wt%) of RHEA were added into the W1Ni (containing 99 wt% W and 1 wt% Ni) matrix by planetary ball milling for 72 h. Consolidation was conducted by spark plasma sintering technique (1410 °C, 1 min). X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersion spectroscopy, and Archimedes' density analyses were performed on the composites. Moreover, wear and hardness properties of the composites were examined, and the lowest specific wear rate (0.59 mm<sup>3</sup>/N.m × 10<sup>−5</sup>) and the highest hardness value (10.10 GPa) were found for the W1Ni-40RHEA composite.

As the temperature decreases, atomic vibrations diminish, and the disorder within the MG decreases due to cooling contraction, resulting in a reduction in average atomic volume.
