Figure 1: Stress-strain behavior of the investigated nanocomposite, which consists of a crystalline, spherical precipitate in a glass matrix, compared to the pure metallic glass. The figures show the nanocomposite at different tensile strains. The spherical inclusion is color coded according to the crystalline order in the sample. Initially, all precipitate atoms are face-centered cubic (green). The matrix atoms are color coded according to the atomic shear strain (ranging from blue to red for unstrained to plastically deformed).
