Abstract

With unique properties such as high strength, amorphous alloys in the bulk form have been a focus for many studies in recent years. Yet, the amorphous alloys (metallic glass) in the thin film form have not received much attention. In this paper, we will review and report some important and interesting results obtained from these thin film metallic glasses in which unique physical and mechanical properties can be enhanced by changing their compositions and by the precipitation of nanoscale particles.
