摘要
We report that beta-relaxation of amorphous NiW alloy film was effectively enhanced by adding two thin crystalline layers into the amorphous layer. Correspondingly, more bright bands, i.e., nano shear bands, were captured in the amorphous layer, which experienced more pronounced beta-relaxations. Based on the potential energy landscape theory, the bright band was proposed to be the localized percolation of flow units corresponding to beta-relaxation. Our findings may help connecting experimentally beta-relaxation with flow units and shed light on the microstructure origin of b-relaxation. Published by AIP Publishing.
