Effect of the Free Volume on the Electronic Structure of Cu<sub>70</sub>Zr<sub>30</sub> Metallic Glasses

While it is accepted that the plastic behavior of metallic glasses is affected by their free volume content, the effect on chemical bonding has not been investigated systematically. According to electronic structure analysis, the overall bond strength is not significantly affected by the free volume...
