Effect of heat treatment paths on the aging and rejuvenation of metallic glasses
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study explores the influence of heat treatment paths on the structural relaxation of metallic glasses (MGs) in the regime of fast dynamics. We create MG samples using various quenching rates, from ${10}^{9}$ to ${10}^{11}$ K/s, and expose these samples to near-${T}_{\mathrm{g}}$ heat treatments with assorted combinations of heating (cooling) rates, from $5\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{10}$ to $5\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{12}$ K/s, and annealing durations, from 10 ps to 10 ns. Results show that the effect of the heating rate is intricately tied to the initial structure of the MG, while a decrease in the cooling rate invariably intensifies the aging process. Extending the annealing duration may induce either aging or rejuvenation, subject to the specific thermal history. To interpret these findings, we hypothesize that the memory effect, governed by the activation and annihilation of reversible and irreversible flow units, underpins the rejuvenation-aging competition in MGs. Moreover, we suggest viewing the cooling stage as an annealing phase controlled by gradient temperature and fine-tuning its rate to achieve the targeted active-flow unit distributions. This study illuminates the role of fast dynamics during the glass relaxation process and offers practical strategies for tailoring heat treatments to optimize MG structures and mechanical performance.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
