Metallic nanoglasses represent a new class of non-crystalline solids with excess free volume at the interfaces. Because such interfaces can act as nucleating sites for shear during plastic deformation, nanoglasses have enhanced plasticity compared to a conventional metallic glass. In this paper, the effect of elemental segregation at the interfaces on mechanical properties of Pd-Si and Cu-Zr binary metallic nanoglasses synthesized by inert gas condensation is studied. The amorphous nature and nanosize of the particles is confirmed by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Elemental segregation in nanoscale is observed in Cu-Zr system while no such segregation is found in Pd-Si nanoglasses by atom probe tomography. Deformation behavior is studied by nanoindentation and micropillar tests. Homogeneous deformation is observed in Cu-Zr metallic nanoglasses whereas inhomogeneous deformation is observed in Pd-Si system. The effect of elemental segregation and the free volume in the metallic nanoglasses on their deformation behavior will be discussed in the present paper.
