The correlation between the pressure sensitivity and the fragility/glass transition temperature in bulk metallic glasses

The correlations between the pressure sensitivity and the fragility/glass transition temperature have been addressed in various bulk metallic glasses in the present work. The results demonstrate that the pressure sensitivity of bulk metallic glasses is closely related to both the fragility index (m) and the glass transition temperature (T-g). The physical origin of the correlations has been discussed from their disordered structure, which is determined by the glass transition behavior and the glass transition temperature.
