Abstrakt: In-situ nano-tensile experiments on 70 nm-diameter free-standing electroplated NiP metallic glass nanostructures reveal tensile true strains of ~18%, an amount comparable to compositionally identical 100 nm-diameter focused ion beam samples and ~3 times greater than 100 nm-diameter electroplated samples. Simultaneous in-situ observations and stress-strain data during post-elastic deformation reveal necking and work hardening, features uncharacteristic for metallic glasses. The evolution of free volume within molecular dynamics-simulated samples suggests a free surfacemediated relaxation mechanism in nano-sized metallic glasses. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
