Abstract
Size effects on deformation behaviors of metallic glass (MG) nanowires are found to be associated with their surface imperfections from phase-field modeling. Necking instead of shear banding is the dominant deformation mode in MG nanowire with diameter d < 100 nm, suggesting that nucleation and growth of the flow defects at the nanowire surface could be the deformation mechanism. The surface effect manifests itself by the finite-size scaling for the fracture strength and the critical intrinsic surface defect density.
