Different icosahedra in metallic glasses : stability and response to shear transformation by Wang, Chang Chun., Wong, C. H.

“…Newly created icosahedra during the deformation process are as prone as non-icosahedral atoms with low-population polyhedra to the formation of shear transformation zones (STZs). Interconnected networks have been proven to play a critical role on their response to shear strain. …”
