Amorphous alloys are of both scientific and technological interest owing to their superior mechanical, physical, and chemical properties. In particular, recent progress in experimental and computational techniques has greatly advanced our understanding of a number of key issues such as glass structure at atomic level, glass-forming ability, and structure-property relationship in this field. Moreover, these materials are being applied in engineering and chemical fields and will extend their applications in MEMs, biomedical fields, and so on.

We invite authors to submit original research and review articles that help uncover the atomic-level mechanisms underlying the glass transition, the deformation, and the glass structure. We also encourage investigators to submit articles focused on development of new functionalities in amorphous alloys with unique structures. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Recent developments in new glass-forming alloy systems and their unique properties
• Advances in fundamental understanding of glass formation from both experimental and theoretical aspects
• Progress in understanding the deformation mechanisms of amorphous alloys
• New amorphous alloys and novel functionalities
• Nanostructured amorphous alloys
• Bulk metallic glasses and composite

Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal’s Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/amse/guidelines/. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal Manuscript Tracking System at http://mts.hindawi.com/submit/journals/amse/etaa/ according to the following timetable:
