Co-existence of homogeneous flow and localized plastic deformation in tension of amorphous Ni-P films on ductile substrate

A deformation map (σ-h) is proposed to account for co-existence of homogeneous flow and localized plastic deformation (shear banding or cracking) in tension of metallic glassy Ni-P films on ductile substrate, as well as the gradual transition of deformation modes via the variation of film thickness.231
