Incorporating a soft ordered phase into an amorphous configuration enhances its uniform plastic deformation under shear

Amorphous materials of homogeneous structures usually suffer from nonuniform deformation under shear, which can develop into shear localization and eventually destructive shear band. One approach to tackle this issue is to introduce an inhomogeneous structure containing more than one phase, which ca...
