4. Nanoindentation  Useful technique for measuring the mechanical properties of small volume of materials and provides insights into mechanisms of metallic glass deformation.  Interesting feature of inhomogeneous deformation during nanoindentation of metallic glasses are continuous serrations (serial pop-ins) in P-h curve.  Serrations are associated with shear band nucleation and their propagation.

7. Scheme of the estimation of the plastic and elastic contribution to the deformation at the individual pop-in event Discrete plasticity ratio:

8. Dependences of the discrete plasticity ratio as a function of the loading rate at indentation for different metallic glasses ‐ For all studied alloy compositions the discrete plasticity ratio parameter reaches the values from 0.4 to 0.8. ‐ For Fe-based alloy the tendency to the decrease of this parameter with the increase of loading rate can be suggested. ‐ For Cu- and Zr-based alloys the conclusions about the deformation rate influence on the discrete plasticity ratio cannot be made.

11. The scheme of the formation of shear bands at nanoindentation

12. Conclusion Nanoindentation experiments have revealed the presence of the deformation discontinuities on all three types of amorphous alloys (Fe 40 Ni 40 B 20, Cu 47 Ti 35 Zr 11 Ni 6 Si 1 and Zr 65 Cu 17.5 Ni 10 Al 7.5 ) at loading rates up to 10 mN.s -1. These discontinuities on the P-h curves start at the load up to 50 mN. As the indent penetrates deeper, the discontinuities are more pronounced. The deformation discontinuities were analyzed using discrete plasticity ratio concept. The observation of indent region morphology does not show a direct connection between the presence of pop-ins and the shear band morphology. The measured effective shear band density varies from 8-50 μm -1.
