Effects of Ion Irradiation on Metallic-Glasses and High-Entropy Alloys

Lead Institution
Oak Ridge National Laboratory
Principal Investigator
Yanwen Zhang
Project type
Large-Scale EMSL Research
Ion irradiation is possible to cause amorphization in crystalline materials, leading to mechanical performance degradation. Bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) have no such problems, because they are…
