Enhancing ductility in bulk metallic glasses by straining during cooling

Bulk metallic glasses typically display limited ductility. Here, straining a bulk metallic glass during cooling from the supercooled region is shown to enhance bending ductility, attributed to the structure being pulled up the potential energy landscape.
