“…Indeed, glasses quenched at different rates are in different isoconfigurational states, characterized by its fictive temperature Tf, and their mechanical behavior is largely dependent on Tf [3,4]. MGs, ideally isotropic, can be anisotropic due to the solidification process [5], elastic and anelastic deformation [6,7], creep [8] and plastic inhomogeneous deformation [9]. While the atomistic origin of anelastic induced anisotropy has been attributed to bond-orientation anisotropy [8,10], the origin of flow induced anisotropy has not been unveiled yet.…”
