Nanoindentation of Nanoglasses Tested by Molecular Dynamics Simulations: Influence of Structural Relaxation and Chemical Segregation on the Mechanical Response

We present molecular dynamics simulations of nanoindentation in order to investigate the effects of segregation and structural relaxation on the mechanical properties of Cu64Zr36 nanoglasses prepared by particle consolidation and long-time annealing. Our analysis of load-displacement curves shows th...
