The authors report on the dramatic effect of sample size on the plastic deformation capability of a Ti-based bulk metallic glass. Compared with the larger one, the smaller size glassy alloy with the same chemical composition exhibits significantly enhanced plasticity, suggesting a smaller is softer trend of metallic glasses. The phenomenon is attributed to the fact that the smaller size alloy, which experienced a faster cooling rate during solidification, contains a larger amount of heats of relaxation and crystallization, favoring the preferential nucleation of shear bands and thus allowing enhanced plasticity upon compressive loading.
