Molecular Dynamics Simulation of Structural Characterization of Elastic and Inelastic Deformation in ZrCu Metallic Glasses

Figure 2

Relaxation process observed by monitoring 𝑥-displacement after unloading the stress of ZrCu MG. (a)–(d) compressed by 2% strain. (a′)–(d′) compressed by 5% strain. The red region represents the atoms moving along the positive 𝑥-direction, and the blue region represents the atoms moving along the negative 𝑥-direction.
