“…The F_0.3_1000, F_0.3_1700, and F_0.3_1000t films' cross-section presented an interesting morphology; in particular, the film deposited applying a higher power to the NiTi target. In the SEM cross-section image of the F_0.3_1700 film (Figure 1d), vein-like features, which are characteristic of metallic glass thin films produced by sputtering, can be observed [24,25]. The increase in the power applied to the target should be responsible for the more notorious vein-like morphology.…”

NiTi shape memory alloy films were prepared by magnetron sputtering using a compound NiTi target and varying deposition parameters, such as power density, pressure, and deposition time. To promote crystallization, the films were heat treated at a temperature of 400 °C for 1 h. For the characterization, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, synchrotron X-ray diffraction, and nanoindentation techniques were used on both as-deposited and heat-treated films. Apart from the morphology and hardness of the as-deposited films that depend on the deposition pressure, the power applied to the target and the deposition pressure did not seem to significantly influence the characteristics of the NiTi films studied. After heat treatment, austenitic (B2) crystalline superelastic films with exceptionally high nickel content (~60 at.%) and vein-line cross-section morphology were produced. The crystallization of the films resulted in an increase in hardness, Young’s modulus, and elastic recovery.

“…An assessment of the electrochemical properties of different metallic glasses has been conducted in a simulated environment using different electrolytes for various engineering applications [177,277]. The commonly used electrolytes are phosphate buffer solution (PBS) [266,278,279], Hank's solution [154,229,280], sodium sulfate (Na 2 SO 4 ) [58,281], Ringer's solution [275,282], aqueous NaCl solution [209,283], etc. Among the aforementioned electrolytes, PBS (pH = 7.4), Hank's (pH = 7.4) and Ringer's (pH = 6.5) solutions are commonly used to explore the electrochemical behavior of metallic-glass systems for bio-implant applications, whereas 0.05 M Na 2 SO 4 and 0.6 M NaCl mimic humid air and simulate seawater environments, respectively [154,177,229,278].…”

“…In addition, the presence of oxide-forming and noble species can also influence the rate of corrosion. The presence of Nb [296], Ag [169], Cu [297], Co [298], Cr [290,299], Ni [300], Mo [277], Be [301], Al [302], W [283], and Pd [229] in metallic-glass systems have been found to improve their electrochemical properties. A study conducted by Zhang et al [303] explored the effect of Ti, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni and Cu inclusion in an Al-based metallic-glass system.…”

Materials with a disordered atomic structure, often termed glassy materials, are the focus of extensive research due to the possibility of achieving remarkable mechanical, electrochemical, and magnetic properties compared to crystalline materials. The glassy materials are observed to have an improved elastic modulus combined with a higher strength and hardness. Moreover, better corrosion resistance in different mediums is also observed for glassy solids, which is difficult to attain using conventional crystalline materials. As a result, the potential applications of metallic-glass systems are continually increasing. Amorphous materials are usually divided into two categories based upon their size. Materials with a thickness and diameter larger than the millimeter (mm) scale are termed as bulk metallic glass (BMG). However, the brittle nature of the bulk-sized samples restricts the size of metallic-glass systems to the micron (µm) or nanometer (nm) range. Metallic glasses with a specimen size in the scale of either µm or nm are defined as thin-film metallic glass (TFMG). In this review, BMGs and TFMGs are termed as metallic glass or MG. A large number of multi-component MGs and their compositional libraries reported by different research groups are summarized in this review. The formation of a multicomponent metallic glass depends on the constituent elements and the fabrication methods. To date, different unique fabrication routes have been adopted to fabricate BMG and TFMGs systems. An overview of the formation principles and fabrication methods as well as advantages and limitations of conventional MG fabrication techniques is also presented. Furthermore, an in-depth analysis of MG inherent properties, such as glass forming ability, and structural, mechanical, thermal, magnetic, and electrochemical properties, and a survey of their potential applications are also described.

Zirconium-based metallic glass films are promising materials for nanoelectronic and biomedical applications, but their mechanical behavior under different conditions is not well understood. This study investigates the effects of radio frequency (RF) power and test temperature on the nanostructure, morphology, and creep behavior of Zr55Cu30Al10Ni5 metallic glass films prepared by RF magnetron sputtering. The films were characterized by X-ray diffraction and microscopy, and their mechanical properties were measured by a bulge test system. The results show that the films were amorphous and exhibited a transition from noncolumnar to columnar morphology as the RF power increased from 75 W to 125 W. The columnar morphology reduced the creep resistance, Young’s modulus, residual stress, and hardness of the films. The creep behavior of the films was also influenced by the test temperature, with higher temperature leading to higher creep strain and lower creep stress. The findings of this study provide insights into the optimization of the sputtering parameters and the design of zirconium-based metallic glass films for various applications.
