Shear-Transformation Zone Activation during Loading and Unloading in Nanoindentation of Metallic Glasses
Using molecular dynamics simulation, we study nanoindentation in large samples of Cu−Zr glass at various temperatures between zero and the glass transition temperature. We find that besides the elastic modulus, the yielding point also strongly (by around 50%) decreases with increasing temp...
